Resources for Your Church

Increasing understanding and awareness.

To enhance your congregation’s understanding of the challenges Episcopal Relief & Development is working to address, we offer a range of materials:


Christian Formation

With the launch of its Christian Formation programs for children, youth, young adults and adults, Episcopal Relief & Development is demonstrating its commitment to support congregations as they strive to fulfill the promises of the Baptismal Covenant.


NetsforLife® Inspiration Fund

The Episcopal Church initially dedicated itself to supporting the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) at the 2003 General Convention, and put its commitment into action in 2006 by endorsing the MDG Inspiration Fund, which raised over $3.2 million in three years. In 2009, the Church renewed its support of the MDGs by endorsing the NetsforLife® Inspiration Fund and contributing 0.7% of its annual budget to this sweeping national effort.


Special Church Campaigns

Special church campaigns offer tangible ways to educate and involve your congregation in our efforts to heal a hurting world.
