The Diocese of Kentucky is a member of the Episcopal Network for Stewardship (TENS). As a diocesan member, all of our congregations receive the benefit of access to annual pledge campaign materials. Please take advantage of this wealth of resources.

As we emerge from this period of disruption and isolation in our congregations, we have felt the pain and frustration of distance, of diminished resources, and of our ability to connect in the ways to which we are accustomed. However, as we take inventory of our spiritual resources, the strength of our community, and our capacity for generosity, we realize that there is now, and always has been, More Than Enough.

This pledge campaign has complete resources for a fall campaign for Liturgical Year C. All our materials are in English and Spanish, and may be downloaded by members of the TENS network of dioceses and congregations. Learn more here.

Log in today to take advantage of these resources for your pledge campaign!

Clergy and stewardship chairs can contact The Rev. Canon Jason Lewis here for the password protected login information.

You can find our tornado response webpage with various resources for our continued response and ways to donate here.

All are welcome to watch livestream worship and legislative sessions of The Episcopal Church’s 80th General Convention in Baltimore, July 8-11. The sessions—in English and Spanish—will be available on the church’s GC80 Media Hub here.

The Church Pension Group (CPG), a financial services organization that serves The Episcopal Church, announced the release of its online 2022 Annual Report. Readers will learn about the Denominational Health Plan’s continuing efforts to contain healthcare costs and reduce cost disparities among dioceses, while providing equal access to and parity of funding of healthcare benefits for eligible clergy and lay employees.

TENS is pleased to sponsor the Project Resource Fall Training 2022. Enroll a team from your congregation with a discount of 50% on the first three members.

Project Resource is a five-week course which meets on consecutive Sunday afternoons to teach generosity practices, the theology of abundance, and practical tips on running a great campaign. Together, your team will learn with stewardship leaders from across the Church and create your own congregation's plan to roll out a year-round Stewardship program. The course begins on September 11 and goes through October 9. Click here to register.

TENS has built out their webinar calendar for 2022 with a new suite of trainings to deepen your skills and theology of stewardship. Please consider registering for these free upcoming webinars:

What will we become? What are we becoming? Who will come back? These are questions we are all asking as we reemerge from our isolation and our pandemic practices. Learn strategies for adaptation and sustainability in our stewardship.
