🎉 Congratulations to Jeremy Fiebig (MDiv, Second Year)!

The Episcopal Evangelism Society is delighted to congratulate our Spring 2026 E-21 Grant recipients!

These grantees represent the creativity, courage, and faithfulness that continue to inspire us across the Church. From trauma-informed ministry and youth discipleship, to public witness, contemplative practice, and new expressions of belonging, these projects embody the many ways God is inviting people into deeper relationship, community, and hope.

We are deeply grateful for these leaders and the ministries they are launching and strengthening. Please join us in celebrating them and praying for the work ahead.

Congratulations, Spring 2026 Grantees!

This evening, our seminary community will take time to pray for Minnesota and its residents. If you would like to support the ministry work on the ground in the Twin Cities and around Minnesota, here are two ways to help (recommended by a faculty member living in Saint Paul):

Donate to the Episcopal Church in MN (ECMN) Migrant Fund: https://onrealm.org/ECMN/-/form/give/migrantsupport

Donate to Casa Maria, an Episcopal ministry located just south of Minneapolis that provides food, supplies, and other social helps to the Minneapolis area: https://www.saint-nicks.org/casamaria

Know other ministries that could benefit from financial help at this time? Drop them in the comments!
