Stewardship & Strategic Planning

Continuing the mission and ministry modeled by Jesus Christ, the Office of Stewardship and Strategic Planning serves to foster education, encouragement, and promotion of stewardship practices, supporting the growth and development of the Church in East Tennessee through offerings of time, talent, and treasure.

What is Stewardship?
Based on Scripture, stewardship recognizes God’s love in gifts that we receive and possess. Gratefully acknowledging God’s generosity, we serve as stewards by using and sharing our individual gifts in love of God and neighbor.  Throughout the Diocese of Knoxville, needs are identified and fulfilled through organization, strategic planning, public relations, and charitable giving.
