Diocese of Southern Ohio

The Diocese of Southern Ohio comprises 71 churches with more than 18,000 members in Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton, and in farm towns, county seats and suburban centers in 40 counties across the southern half of the state. 

We are committed to spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ through lively and enriching worship, faithful and challenging preaching and service to all people, especially those in greatest need. We believe God is calling our diocese to work on behalf of the poor and the marginalized, strive for racial justice and racial healing, and care for God’s magnificent creation.
