Upcoming Events
Bishop's Search Listening Sessions

The Search and Nomination Committee invites all in the Diocese of Michigan to listening sessions. These sessions will gather information from you about the people and plac es, blessings and challenges, hopes and dreams of our diocese. Your participation is vital as we develop our diocesan profile, a document that provides a vision of who we are today, who we have been, and who we hope to become. The profile will be provided to potential candidates for Bishop of the Diocese of Michigan in the Fall.

Each listening session will be facilitated by members of the Search and Nomination Committee. Participants will meet in small groups to respond to a brief series of questions. Your responses will be recorded anonymously and common themes will be included the diocesan profile.

Summer Camp

Summer Camp can be one of the most rewarding and joyous experiences in a young person's life. It is a chance to dis-connect with the distractions of the world and re-connect with God and all that God has made.

We are proud to endorse  two  different opportunities for Summer Camp this year.


Camp Stony Lake
Once again this year we have teamed up with Living Water Ministries to offer summer camp for the young people of the Diocese. While you can choose any week, we have designated Week 2 (June 24-29)  as an Episco-Week at Camp Stony Lake. 

Camp Chickagami
Camp Chick offers five sessions of summer camp for folks of all ages who love to sing, hike, worship, swim, craft, play, and boat.
