Our Diocese is a collaborative community of engaged members with a "can-do" spirit who are creative, energetic, and generous followers of Jesus. We are rooted in Christ and open to the world. You are welcome here and we look forward to seeing you.
The word "episcopal" is a Greek word for bishop. Bishops, along with other elected leaders, oversee the Church in particular geographic areas, known as dioceses.
Actions speak louder than words. We practice loving our neighbors as ourselves and upholding the dignity of every human being through our work.
We're making it easy for you to stay up to date on all that's happening with The Episcopal Diocese of East Tennessee.
We strive to provide resources and support our churches and people need to share the Way of Love in the world. If there's something you can't find, please contact us.
Giving—whether of funds, skills, or time—is a way for us to show gratitude to God for the gift of community and companionship, of the blessings we receive along the journey. We invite you to first consider giving to your local parish or to one of these initiatives.
Both the Episcopal Church of the Ascension and our friends at Battlefield Farm were featured on NPR for their work being the church outside of the normal Sunday morning service. Spiritus Knox is a ministry of Church of the Ascension, run by The Rev. Caroline Vogel and The Rev. Chris Battle was our 2022 Absalom Jones preacher. Read more here.
