Episcopal Diocese of Alaska

Perched in the heart of Fairbanks, Alaska, lies the Episcopal Diocese of Alaska, a sprawling expanse that blankets the entire state. From the tiniest subsistence villages to bustling urban hubs, the 50 Episcopal congregations within our borders fervently proclaim the teachings of Our Lord. Our vast domain spans a staggering 586,412 square miles, adorned with 47,300 miles of majestic coastline, over 3 million glistening lakes, and a network of more than 3,000 meandering rivers. Remarkably, only a mere fraction—about 160,000 acres—of Alaska's 365 million acres has been touched by civilization, leaving the rest as a pristine wilderness, a frontier that embodies breathtaking splendor and unwavering faith.

Embracing the dawning of a new era as we stand on the cusp of the millennium, the Episcopal Diocese of Alaska embarks on a journey of Evangelism and Discipleship, where Gospel Engagement takes center stage. As a unified Diocese, we gather to delve into the profound depths of the Gospel, seeking to unearth its timeless wisdom and divine truths amidst the untamed beauty of our surroundings. Here, at this intersection of tradition and modernity, of ancient landscapes and contemporary beliefs, we strive to navigate the path towards spiritual enlightenment with unwavering dedication and unshakeable resolve.
