The Upper Diocese of South Carolina

Headed by Bishop Dorsey Henderson, the Diocese is the larger body of which St. John's is a member within the Episcopal Church. It encompasses the Episcopal parishes located in the Midlands and Upstate of South Carolina.

The Bishop visits St. John's at least once a year to confirm new members and to visit with the parish. St. John's makes an annual contribution to the Diocese based on our membership and budget, and we send delegates to the annual Diocesan Convention, as well as to many meetings of Diocesan committees and organizations.

Additional information about the Diocese of Upper South Carolina is available at their website (www.edusc.org).
