Augusta Convocation
Each Diocese in the Episcopal Church is sub-divided into Convocations (sometimes known
as Deaneries).
​
Emmanuel Episcopal Church is part of the Augusta Convocation within the
Diocese of Southwestern Virginia.
The Dean of our Convocation is The Very Rev'd AJ Heine. AJ is also the
Rector of our sister church, Trinity Episcopal Church, here in Staunton VA.
Our Convocation
Our Diocese is divided into 5 regional areas (Convocations).
These are:
1. Abingdon
2. Augusta
3. Lynchburg
4. New River
5. Roanoke
​
In our Augusta Convocation are the following church communities:
- Church of the Good Shepherd, Blue Grass
- Christ Church, Buena Vista
- Emmanuel, Covington
- Good Shepherd, Folly Mills
- St. John's, Glasgow;
- St. Luke's, Hot Springs
- Grace, Lexington
- Emmanuel, Staunton

The task of the Augusta Convocation is to be the Episcopal presence in our
region. Together we work to make God's Kingdom values known; we aim
to get to know one another better; we seek to work together in mission to
share the Good News of God both with those in need, and those who are
seeking to know God better and make God's love better known.
