Ministries

The Episcopal Diocese of Southern Virginia is actively supporting many ministries such as:

Outreach Ministries
Outreach Ministries help develop and support programs both within our parishes and all across the diocese, addressing current issues by using the faith and spirituality of the Christian Gospel. The department serves as a conduit between its commissions, diocesan convocations and parish outreach organizations while fostering cooperation and mutual ministry between diocesan outreach organizations, nationwide church programs, interdenominational outreach organizations and government agencies.
