Rt. Rev’d E. Mark Stevenson
The Rt. Rev’d Gayle E. Harris
The Rt. Rev’d Mark A. Bourlakas
Bishop Stevenson, Bishop Harris, and Bishop Bourlakas, along with several assisting bishops, work together to visit each parish in the Diocese at least every twelve to twenty-four months; the schedule for these visitations is posted on the diocesan website twice yearly. Parishes will be contacted individually with details about their upcoming visitation several weeks before the event. We invite you to review the Visitation Customary before submitting paperwork as it contains important information regarding visitations, as well as individual Bishop’s preferences.

Office of Discipleship & Formation
Contact:
The Rev. Ricardo Sheppard
Discipleship is learning about Jesus and following Jesus in our daily lives. It is how we live our baptismal covenant in the world, empowered by the Holy Spirit. The Office of Discipleship seeks to develop lifelong Jesus followers across the age continuum. We offer relational and formational resources to accompany children, youth, college students, young adults, campers (Shrine Mont and Roslyn), and adults (lay and ordained) on their journey toward a deeper relationship with God.
