Our Bishop
The Rt. Rev. Amy Dafler Meaux
Bishop of West Missouri
As Episcopalians, those who quite literally derive our name from the episcopacy (the apostolic order of bishops), we are guided by the pastoral direction of our bishop. The current bishop of our diocese is the Rt. Rev. Amy Dafler Meaux.
Bishop Amy was born and raised all over the south, namely the Carolinas and Louisiana. After graduating from Louisiana Scholar's College, she returned to her home church in Covington, Louisiana to pursue ordination to the priesthood. During this time, she met her husband, Jared. Together, they traveled to Austin where Bishop Amy attended seminary. 26 years later, they have three children and have lived in Dallas, Eastern Kentucky, Little Rock, and now Kansas City. They also have two dogs, Luca and Bethany, and one grand-puppy, Charlotte.
Bishop Amy is most excited about all the ways the people of West Missouri seek to serve Jesus in their communities. She is confident the kingdom of God is near to us here and can't wait to see all the Holy Spirit is doing in our midst.
