The diocese was formed when Anglican clergy and lay people, many of whom had left the Episcopal Church, began to gather to discuss starting a new diocese in the Anglican Church in North America. Chief among the architects of new diocese were Filmore Strunk, rector of All Saints' Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Steve Wood, rector of St. Andrew's Church in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina.
The new diocese was approved unanimously at the Provincial Assembly of the ACNA, on 6 June 2012, with Steve Wood as their first bishop elected. He was consecrated on 25 August 2012, at St. Andrew's Church in Mount Pleasant, by Archbishop Robert Duncan, Archbishop-elect of Uganda, Stanley Ntagali, Bishop Roger Ames, Bishop John Guernsey and Bishop Alphonsa Gadsden, all three from the ACNA.[2]
