142nd Annual Convention of the Diocese of East Carolina

November 14-15, 2025 at the Maxwell Convention Center in Goldsboro, NC

Pre-Convention Meetings – Round Two

As was been promised during the first round of Pre-Convention Meetings in early October, we will now be hosting as second round of meetings, all by Zoom this time. We will have two meetings that will focus on the resolutions that have been received, with a brief look at the proposed 2026 budget and any other items of concern. Those who have proposed resolutions will be welcome to speak during these meetings and to answer any questions that may arise. Bishop Skirving will host these meetings. Please visit the “Resolutions” page to find the link to “Resolutions Received.”

We will also have one meeting that will focus entirely on the proposed 2026 budget, with Treasurer Tess Judge. This will allow those wish to look a little more deeply the chance to do so. Please visit the “Proposed 2026 Diocesan Budget” page to have an advanced look!
