Originally part of the Diocese of South Carolina, it became independent on October 10–11, 1922 following nearly two years of planning.

The diocese comprises approximately 60 congregations in the Upstate (northwestern) and Midlands regions of the U.S. state of South Carolina.

[4][5] Among the Diocese's many institutions, the Bishop Gravatt Center began service in 1949 as a retreat and summer camp site.

Now a non-profit corporation with its own Board of Trustees, the Center remains a vital part of the Diocese through its summer camp Christian formation program and numerous diocesan and parish activities such as Happening, Cursillo, youth retreats, vestry retreats, parish family weekends, etc.
