Welcome Message from Bishop Paul Marshall

Welcome to the Diocese of Bethlehem! We are a community of parishes and institutions in the fourteen counties of Northeastern Pennsylvania. We seek to celebrate and share the love of God in word and deed. We are a part of The Episcopal Church and through it members of the Anglican Communion, the world’s third-largest body of Christians. In all that we do, we aim to be faithful followers of Jesus Christ.

No matter who you are, you are welcome here. We believe that God’s love is for everyone. We strive to be a community where people of every age, race, sexuality or economic circumstance find a home and a place to grow. Whether you come in a suit or jeans and tee shirt, you will receive a warm greeting.
