Episcopal Diocese of Georgia

What Episcopal Diocese of Georgia does

The Episcopal Diocese of Georgia is a 501(c)(3) religious non-profit and constituent diocese of The Episcopal Church, headquartered in Savannah, Georgia, with roots dating to 1733. It functions as the canonical, pastoral, and administrative authority for approximately 65–70 Anglican congregations across Central and South Georgia, currently led by the 11th Bishop, the Rt. Rev. Frank S. Logue (consecrated May 30, 2020). Its core "products" are religious services, sacramental ministry, clergy formation, congregational development, and retreat/programming delivered through parish churches and the 98-acre Honey Creek retreat center; its underlying technology stack is minimal and consists of onRealm.org for donations, member management, and payments, together with a recently launched Resource Hub for formation content and operational resources. The diocese is governed by an annual Diocesan Convention (the 204th convened November 7–8, 2025) and pursues a non-revenue business model funded by parish assessments, member pledges and tithes, endowment income, retreat-center fees, and donor contributions. Operational signals in 2025 point to portfolio consolidation (closure of Holy Spirit reduced the parish count from 70 to 65, and Honey Creek is under sustainability review) alongside investment in future capacity (approximately 20 people in the ordination pipeline).

Direct peers

• Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina: Larger southeastern Episcopal diocese with comparable formation, youth, and diocesan-convention infrastructure. A benchmark for how a regional diocese of greater scale operates programs and stewardship.
• Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta: Same denomination (The Episcopal Church), same state, similarly structured diocese with analogous programs (Bishop, Standing Committee, diocesan convention, formation, retreat center). Most directly comparable peer for governance, funding model, and constituency.
• Episcopal Diocese of East Tennessee: Rural-heavy East Tennessee diocese with small congregations across a wide geography, structurally analogous in how it delivers episcopal oversight and formation across dispersed parishes — a like-for-like rural-ministry peer.
• Episcopal Diocese of Alabama: Southeastern Episcopal diocese with a rural/town footprint and small-parish mix comparable to Central and South Georgia. Operates the same bishop/convention/clergy-formation governance and addresses similar demographic-decline pressures.
• Episcopal Diocese of Southwest Florida: Gulf-coast Episcopal diocese with a comparable mix of growing and declining congregations plus a coastal retreat facility. Useful peer for evaluating Honey Creek-style assets and stewardship of seasonal-resort real estate.
• Episcopal Diocese of Virginia: One of the oldest and largest Episcopal dioceses in the southeast with deep historical congregations. Benchmark peer for long-tenured diocesan structure, retreat centers (e.g., Shrine Mont), and large-scale formation and stewardship programming.
• Episcopal Diocese of Mississippi: Small, geographically dispersed Mississippi diocese with a predominantly rural footprint highly analogous to the Diocese of Georgia's Central/South Georgia coverage, including similar racial-justice ministry framing.
• Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana: Historic southern Episcopal diocese operating under analogous governance (bishop, standing committee, annual convention) with similar mission/justice emphasis. Useful peer for programming, retreat assets, and stewardship benchmarking.
• Episcopal Diocese of Florida: Southeastern Episcopal diocese of comparable size and history (founded 1838), serving a comparable southern population with overlapping challenges of mainline decline and parish consolidation. Shares clergy formation and diocesan-convention governance model.
• Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina: Episcopal diocese in an adjacent southeastern state with a comparable mix of historic parishes and small-town congregations. A peer for assessing diocesan governance, parish viability, and schismatic/consolidation risk in the southeast.
