Image Description: The stamp for the Episcopal Diocese of the Great Lakes. The bottom of the stamp is a orange-yellow shield with a dark blue outline that reads "Estd. 2024" in highly stylized type with two Episcopal-style crosses. On the top of the shield, like it's sailing on it, is the two-sailed ship from the diocesan seal, along with the three stars in the sky. the largest of which represents our new diocese while the two smaller stars represent our two legacy dioceses.

Image Description: The wordmark for our diocese that reads, "EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF THE GREAT LAKES." The first four words are in all caps in a simple-yet-wide sans serif font. "Great Lakes" is also in all-caps, but in a highly stylized font that is reminiscent of vintage sign art. The G, L and S all have added flourishes that look like waves. This is the horizontal orientation of the wordmark and it is shown in the warm gray (off-white) brand color.

Safe Church, Safe Communities

The Diocese of the Great Lakes is committed to being a community where every person is valued, protected, and treated with dignity. Safe Church, Safe Communities is our shared ministry of care and accountability, grounded in our Baptismal Covenant to “respect the dignity of every human being.” Through training, policies, and practices, we seek to create spaces – both onsite and online – where all can know the love and safety of Christ.

Our Safe Church policy is included in our full diocesan policy and procedures manual.

Safe Church training can be completed at any time. The most up to date information about how to access SafeChurch training is always available in our Parish Resource Library (direct post embedded below).
