The diocese was headquartered in Saginaw, Michigan. It was a relatively new diocese, having been spun off from the Episcopal Diocese of Michigan in 1994. There were 50 separate parishes operating within the diocese.^[1]

At a Special Convention held on March 16, 2024, in Grand Blanc, there was an overwhelming vote in favor of joining the Episcopal Diocese of Western Michigan to establish the Episcopal Diocese of The Great Lakes. This junction was approved by General Convention on June 28, 2024.
