Committees
Bishop Search Committee
The Standing Committee of the Diocese of West Missouri is accepting applications from lay people, priests, and deacons of West Missouri to serve on the Bishop Search Committee.
This body will play a pivotal role in helping the diocese discern whom to call as the next in a line of apostolic leaders going back to the 12 apostles originally called and sent by Jesus himself. Our next bishop will bear great responsibility to proclaim a shared vision for our congregations, inspire and minister to diocesan clergy, lead our diocesan liturgical life, raise up leaders for the future, and help lead The Episcopal Church.
Searching for and discerning candidates for bishop will require a significant commitment of time and energy, deep listening to the Holy Spirit, and a willingness to set aside personal agendas for the good of the whole diocese.
