Welcome

Thank you for visiting the Episcopal Diocese of Florida's website.

The Episcopal Diocese of Florida was founded in 1838 as the entire state of Florida. Today, our diocese consists of 25 counties in Northern Florida. Our parishes and congregations stretch from the Apalachicola River in the western part of our diocese to the Atlantic Ocean, and from the Georgia border to the Palm Coast region.

I hope that you find that which you are searching for on this site; and if you visit one of our 77 congregations you will encounter the love of Christ and the fellowship of those who follow him.


The Rt. Rev. Samuel Johnson Howard, Bishop of Florida
