Bishop
From the Bishop
[Feb 2012] Ministry is not a solo act. It is Christ’s choice that calls us into ministry.

If you wish to be a part of this, please contact diocese@iowaepiscopal.org or 515-277-6165 so Bishop Scarfe will know you are coming and the related paperwork and Certificates can be e-mailed to your church.
