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.
On Sunday, November 19, 2023, Bishop Brian Cole visited the historically Black parish of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Knoxville, Tennessee for their annual visitation. His sermon was captured by Tim Miller, a parishioner who has worked on modernizing some of St. Luke’s digital ministry, notably the new St. Luke’s website.
