Welcome to the Episcopal Diocese of Oregon!

We are a unique expression of the Jesus Movement, as it is found in the life and work of the Episcopal Church in western Oregon. Our churches throughout the region gather in the love of God to ground our lives in worship while connecting ourselves to the wider church and world.

Whether you are a first-time explorer of this way of faith or a lifelong Episcopalian, I trust you will find a home in this fellowship of love and prayer. This is a place where all are welcome and all may find God in Jesus Christ.

The Rt. Rev. Michael Hanley Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Oregon

LITURGICAL FASHION: The children's choirs of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Salem got an opportunity during rehearsals to learn that the colors we use in worship aren't just because we like them and think they're pretty.

The colors represent theological themes and are used with rhythm and intention. The kids also got to try on some stoles (do we have future priests in our midst?). #soyouwannabeapriest #kidsinchurch #pnwkids #dressup #priestlife #oregonepiscopal #episcopal #salemoregon #makemusic #choirlife
