Deaneries of the Diocese
From the Piedmont to the Mountains, our diocese covers a diverse group of landscapes and communities. The Diocese is divided into six geographical regions designated as a deanery. One clergy leader is elected as Dean of each deanery and meet monthly with the Bishop to discuss and address diocesan affairs and local concerns.
