Registrations for the annual Stewardship Kaleidoscope Conference continue to come in as the June 30 early-bird registration deadline approaches.

Themed “Doing More in BaltiMORE,” the 2026 conference will be held live at the Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace Hotel Sept. 21-23. To enable broader participation, a virtual attendee registration option will once again be available.

In addition to experiencing diverse plenary sessions and worship opportunities, on-site conference participants will be able to choose from dozens of workshops. Virtual attendees will be able to attend livestreamed and recorded plenaries and worship, and will also have access to eight workshops, four of which will be available via livestream.

Drawing leaders from across the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the Episcopal Church, and other ecumenical partners, Stewardship Kaleidoscope is designed to ignite generosity in faith-based communities, give practical tools for cultivating generosity in congregations, expand the leadership capacity of those who lead stewardship initiatives, and cultivate adaptive approaches for funding Christ’s mission.

The popular conference will feature an exciting lineup of plenary speakers and preachers:

Early-bird pricing — which saves $50 per person for regular in-person attendees — will be offered through June 30. There is also a discount for seminarians, first-call pastors, and groups of three or more participants attending the conference from the same church. The deadline to register for in-person attendance is Sept. 4.

All PC(USA) ministers are eligible to apply for a grant through the Presbyterian Foundation to cover half of all costs to attend the conference in person, including travel and hotel. For pastors who attend with members of their congregation, this grant is also available toward half the conference costs for those lay leaders. For more information about this grant, prospective attendees are invited to email the Rev. Dr. David Loleng, the Presbyterian Foundation’s Vice President for Church Financial Literacy & Leadership and Stewardship Education.
