History
The Episcopal Church’s presence in Leland began in 1908, when the Rt. Rev. Charles Woodcock, Bishop of the Diocese of Kentucky, began holding services in his summer home, and later in the homes of other summer residents in Leland, Michigan
St. Peter’s Chapel “officially” began in 1964, with approval by the Diocese of Western Michigan.
Formed in 2024 by the juncture of the legacy Episcopal Diocese of Eastern Michigan and legacy Episcopal Diocese of Western Michigan, the Episcopal Diocese of the Great Lakes spans 58 counties in Michigan’s lower peninsula from state border to bridge and shore to shore; it comprises 99 parishes and seasonal chapels along with two youth camps; St. Peter’s Episcopal Chapel is a member.
