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.

About

Formed in 2024 by the juncture of the legacy Episcopal Diocese of Eastern Michigan and legacy Episcopal Diocese of Western Michigan, the Episcopal Diocese of the Great Lakes spans 58 counties in Michigan’s lower peninsula from state border to bridge and shore to shore. Our diocese comprises 99 parishes and seasonal chapels along with two youth camps – Episcopal Youth Camp and Camp Chickagami –  and the AuSable Inclusion Center. We’re also proud and grateful to be affiliated with Plainsong Farm.

We are both large and small, both urban and rural. We speak three languages – English, Spanish, and Dinka. We take faith seriously – giving us imagination and opportunity for ministries and mission within our communities. Together we seek creative, life-giving, faith-enhancing and inclusive responses to the challenges of modern life.
