Regional Structures

Local, regional, diocesan- and national structures help us to do ministry together so that we may serve God and the world. The following section outlines basic regional and diocesan structure in the Diocese of Virginia.

Regions

The Diocese has 16 regions, determined by geography. Each region has a Regional Council, composed of members elected by the churches in each region. Each region has an elected President, who is a lay person, and an appointed Dean, who is a clergy person. To see the list of churches in each region, go to the Regional Ministry Resource Center. This site also provides handy tools for regional ministry.
