Traditional and emerging paradigms struggle to speak to one another\, and a fresh conversation is waiting to be had. Delving into the discipleship roots of generosity\, we’ll explore the theological and practical ways that stewardship enlivens followers of Christ and the whole church\, and we’ll reimagine together how that can be lived out in the local congregation. \n  \nTim Brown is a pastor in the ELCA serving parishes in Chicago\, IL and Raleigh\, NC.  He currently serves in the Office of the Presiding Bishop as Director for Congregational Stewardship Support where he creates and curates relationships and resources to help Synods and Congregations fuel their ministries. He lives in Raleigh\, North Carolina with his wife and two sons\, and you can usually find him at a coffee shop or brewery reading or writing something he thinks is interesting. \n\n		  \nThe Presiding Bishop\, Yehiel Curry\, will be preaching at the opening worship of the Fall Leadership Conference this year. \n  \nThe Rev. Yehiel Curry is the presiding bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). Elected at the ELCA Churchwide Assembly in Phoenix\, Ariz.\, on July 30\, 2025\, Presiding Bishop Curry began this role on Oct. 1\, 2025. \n  \nPreviously\, he served as bishop of the ELCA Metropolitan Chicago Synod\, where he led a synod staff and 160 congregations by providing pastoral care\, preaching\, teaching\, administering sacraments\, and overseeing ordinations and installations. He was elected synod bishop in 2019 and reelected in spring 2025. During that time\, he chaired the ELCA Conference of Bishops\, fostering ecumenical relationships and theological engagement across the Lutheran communion. \n  \nPrior to his role as bishop of the Metropolitan Chicago Synod\, Presiding Bishop Curry served as the mission developer (2007–2012) and pastor (2013–2019) of Shekinah Chapel Lutheran Church in Riverdale\, Ill. He earned a Bachelor of Arts from Lewis University in Romeoville\, Ill.\, and a Master of Divinity from the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago. He and his wife\, LaShonda\, are the proud parents of three daughters. \nAgenda\nMonday\, October 19 \n1:00 pm Registration Opens \n2:00 pm Welcome \n2:30 pm Session One: Stewardship as Discipleship (Personal Stewardship) \nHow do we regain an understanding of stewardship as something that is baked into following Jesus\, as a discipleship practice? How might we imagine this for ourselves\, and for our community? \n4:30 pm Free Time \n5:30 pm Dinner \n7:00 pm Worship and fellowship \n  \nTuesday\, October 20 \n8:00 am Breakfast \n8:45 am Morning Prayer \n9:00 am Session Two: Stewardship as Congregational Cohesion \nInviting our community members to grow as disciples of Christ is challenging\, but stewardship can be a lens through which communal life can be seen and understood differently. How can we inspire and inform our congregations to live more cruciformly? \n11:00 am Bishop’s time \n12:00 pm Lunch \n1:00 pm Free time \nThere will be limited opportunities to sign up for a one-on-one conversation with Tim Brown during this time.

This session will offer practical insights into helping members connect their faith\, values\, and generosity with the long-term sustainability of the congregation they love. \n5:30 pm Dinner \n6:30 pm Congregational Stewardship \n*Please note that this session is a repeat of the Session 2 morning workshop. The evening session is a hybrid option and you are encouraged to invite your council members and stewardship team to attend in person or via zoom. \n8:00 pm Bonfire and Fellowship  \n  \nWednesday\, October 21 \n8:00 am Breakfast \n9:00 am Session Three: Stewardship of Call \nJonah had a few calls on his life. So did Peter. So did Mary Magdalene. How do we navigate and steward the call(s) God has put before us as leaders in the church\, and how do we help others with this discernment? \n11:00 am Sending
