Episcopal Diocese of Tennessee

The Episcopal Diocese of Tennessee: who are they?

The Diocese of Tennessee is open to the power of God and obedient to Jesus’ command to make disciples: proclaiming the Good News of Jesus’ death and resurrection to the whole creation.

They are responsive to the needs of the world that God created and for which Jesus died. They are committed to our life together, for the sake of the life of the world.

The Diocese of Tennessee is committed to providing its congregations with formation and support in the area of stewardship. Every year, it sponsors a day-long workshop for clergy, vestry, and stewardship committees to attend.

We created and ran a workshop with content that included:

• exploring money narratives

• the theology of stewardship as a contextual ministry

• learning who are in our pews and their donor needs

• generational characteristics and strategies

• information on how the fundraising landscape has changed the past three years and how to respond
