Episcopal Parish Network Annual Conference

EPN 2026 brings together hundreds of Episcopal leaders from across the Church for four unforgettable days of bold ideas, practical tools, and renewed hope.

This year’s conference features an extraordinary lineup of keynote conversations, including Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe in dialogue with Atlantic author Jonathan Rauch, and civil rights leader Sherrilyn Ifill in conversation with the Rev. Rachel Nyback—two of five remarkable keynotes that will inspire, challenge, and reframe what leadership looks like today.

New Pre-Conferences for Lay Church Staff and Canons to the Ordinary expand opportunities for focused learning and collaboration, while Smart Start sessions on Endowments, Stewardship, and Communications set the stage for practical success throughout the week.

At EPN 2026, attendees will experience exceptional networking, new relationships, and renewed friendships that strengthen the fabric of the Episcopal Church.

Join us in Charlotte for the place where the Church gathers—and leave equipped with hope, insight, and tangible tools for the work ahead.
