The Episcopal Church
Welcomes You
Our Presiding Bishop
28th Presiding Bishop & Primate
The Most Rev. Sean W. Rowe was elected presiding bishop and primate of The Episcopal Church in June 2024 and took office on Nov. 1 for a nine-year term. In this role, he serves as the church’s chief pastor and CEO. Known for his expertise in organizational learning and adaptive change, Rowe is committed to strengthening support for local ministry and mission.
He was ordained bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Northwestern Pennsylvania in 2007 after serving as rector of St. John’s in Franklin, Pennsylvania, for seven years. From 2014 to 2018, he served as bishop provisional of the Episcopal Diocese of Bethlehem, and from 2019 to 2024, he led a partnership between the Episcopal Dioceses of Northwestern Pennsylvania and Western New York.
Rowe holds a bachelor’s degree in history from Grove City College, a Master of Divinity degree from Virginia Theological Seminary, and a doctorate in organizational learning and leadership from Gannon University. He has served as a leader of many civic and churchwide organizations and governance bodies, and as parliamentarian for the House of Bishops.
Here at St. James', we follow the Book of Common Prayer to: "...restore all people to unity with God and each other in Christ".
One of the means by which we achieve that is through a rich, diverse and active Parish Life. We believe in working among the local community, assisting one another in times of need, learning new things, enjoying the gifts God has given us and taking advantage of the fullness of life.
We encourage a rich social life for individuals and families through activities like Book Club, Movie Night, Porch Theology, Trunk or Treat, Christmas Caroling and Yoga, to name but a few. Everyone is welcome at ALL events as well as guests!
