The inaugural synod of the diocese was held on January 7, 1978, in Columbus, Ohio, where Bishop Charles Dale David Doren was elected the first bishop of the diocese. An additional synod was also held in 1978 in Coshocton, Ohio. [1]

Bishop Doren became bishop of the Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic States, and at the diocesan synod held in March 1979 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, William O. Lewis was elected the next bishop of the diocese. [2] Lewis had been a priest in the Diocese of Quincy of the Episcopal Church, and was ordained in 1956. [3] The next synod was held in Columbus, Ohio, in 1979. [4] The March 1982 synod was held in Janesville, Wisconsin. [5]

Lewis became bishop of the Diocese of the South in 1987, and Joseph Philip Deyman was consecrated in January 1988 as the next Bishop Ordinary. He had previously served as archdeacon of the diocese. [6]

After Deyman died in 2000, Rommie Michael Starks was elected as the fourth Bishop Ordinary at the diocesan synod held at the Pro-Cathedral Church of St. Edward the Confessor in Indianapolis in August 2000. [7] He was consecrated on October 14, 2000. [8]

Since Starks's death in 2023, Patrick Fodor, Bishop of the Diocese of the Missouri River Valley of the Anglican Church in America, has been Episcopal Visitor of the diocese. [9]
