The Episcopal Diocese of Spokane seeks to be creative and compelling witnesses to Jesus Christ in the Inland Northwest. Our mission is to form, nurture, and develop disciples of Jesus Christ in strong communities of faith for the transformation of our communities, our world and ourselves. We desire to strengthen our youth ministry and expand our family ministry with an emphasis on discipleship and formation. Camp Cross is one of the most beautiful rustic summer camps in The Episcopal Church and it is a center for spirituality and formation for our diocese. Our diocese encompasses central and eastern Washington and northern Idaho. We are a diocese of primarily rural and small town congregations, with a cluster of university towns and two major population centers. Please go to our websites www.campcross.org and www.spokanediocese.org to learn more about our camp and us.
