The Episcopal Church Welcomes You

Welcome to
Growth & Developement


All of Congregational Development and Redevelopment, and all of Stewardship are at their heart about God's mission of transforming the world and the lives it contains.

The unit of Congregational Development produces resources for congregations and dioceses that will be useful in the ongoing work of growing healthy and vital congregations. You will find research results that will give accurate information about who we are and what we are about. You will find reporting on the 20/20 mission movement for the Episcopal Church and especially the work of the Presiding Bishop's staff that supports and encourages the movement.

You will also find information about upcoming training events for congregational leaders. Registration information is available for conference like Plant My Church, Start Up! Start Over!, Upward Bound, Inventing the Wheel, and the Small Church Leadership Institute, in addition to many more ongoing training opportunities.
