Welcome to the Episcopal Church in Minnesota

We're so glad you're visiting us!

If you’re visiting us for the first time you’ve found us in an exciting time of change, hope and opportunity. Over these 150-plus years since our first church, our Episcopal community in Minnesota has grown, expanded and redefined what it means to join God's mission in the world.

The first way you might notice our work within God's mission is through our connections throughout the world.

The Episcopal Church in Minnesota is a 'diocese' of The Episcopal Church, which is a community of two and three million worshipers in about 7500 congregations across the United States and related dioceses outside the US.

The Episcopal Church is part of the larger Anglican Communion, which is a worldwide community of believers who intentionally maintain community and commonality in prayer and worship.  As you may have heard, the Anglican Communion is wrestling with what it means to be Anglican on a global scale in the 21st century. 

We also work within God's mission by welcoming all people, regardless of their sexual orientation, race, class, gender or belief are welcome in our community. 

Our very first Bishop, Henry Benjamin Whipple worked and served with the Native American community. While others were persecuting them, he was ordaining them. The Episcopal Church in Minnesota continues that legacy.

Find a church and join the vibrant work of one of our many local communities. Work with one of our social service organizations to help those in need or those who are hurting. Visit one of our nationally-recognized secondary schools and consider the benefits of a top-notch education.

Become part of the Episcopal Church in Minnesota. There are many ways for you to find fulfilling opportunities for mission, prayer, gathering, and community in the Episcopal Church.

We've been waiting for you.
