“New Wineskins” group invites suggestions for new church name

Something new is taking shape in the Diocese of West Tennessee—and we want you to help name it.

Five congregations—All Saints, Emmanuel (Memphis), St. Joseph’s, Holy Trinity, and Good Shepherd—are prayerfully coming together in a shared journey toward a newly-forming church. As part of that journey, the Rev. Hester Mathes invites the people of the diocese to submit name ideas for this new community of faith.

While the leadership of the five churches will ultimately discern the name in conversation with Bishop Phoebe, this is a joyful opportunity to build excitement, spark imagination, and share in the hope of what God is doing among us as we come together as one.

Have an idea rooted in scripture, place, mission, or the spirit of this collaboration? We’d love to hear it.

The deadline to submit a name suggestion is Wednesday, February 18, 2026 (Ash Wednesday).
