Biography The Reverend Canon Timothy M. Dombek currently serves as Canon for Stewardship and Planned Giving for the Episcopal Diocese of Arizona. In his previous position with that Diocese he was Canon to the Ordinary and his areas of responsibilities included Transition Ministry for congregations and clergy, Congregational Development, Fresh Start instructor for new clergy in calls, and stewardship education and consulting. Canon Dombek has regularly presented “Stewardship University,” a one-day workshop designed to change the way we look at typical congregational stewardship across the Diocese of Arizona, and in over a dozen Episcopal dioceses church wide. He is also an accomplished facilitator in Participatory Strategic Planning methods developed by the Institute for Cultural Affairs, a world-wide planning and consultation group for positive change. Many congregations and organizations have used his services to jumpstart or clarify their future plans or their mission and purpose statements. Prior to accepting the call as canon to the ordinary in October 2007, Timothy served as rector of St. James Episcopal Church in Greenville, SC. Before to moving to St. James, Greenville, Dombek served as school chaplain at Heathwood Hall Episcopal School, a K-12 college-preparatory school in Columbia, SC, while also serving as priest-in-charge of St. Barnabas Episcopal Church, one of the five historic African-American missions of the diocese, in rural Jenkinsville, SC. The Dombeks moved to Columbia, SC, in 1996 from Church of the Transfiguration, Dallas, TX, where he served a four-year curacy as family life minister. Prior to serving in ordained ministry, Dombek, a 1992 graduate of Seabury-Western Theological Seminary, worked as a certified financial planner, following seven years in broadcasting as a radio disc jockey in his home state of Indiana. He and his wife, Beth, an elementary school resource teacher, have been married for over twenty years and they have one son.
Reverend Canon Timothy Dombek While serving as Canon to the Ordinary for the Diocese of Arizona, Canon Dombek created and regularly presented, “Stewardship University™”, a one day set of workshops designed to transform the way clergy and lay leaders look at and think about financial stewardship for congregations, and to provide practical steps that can be implemented to bring about generous giving, based on gratitude and gladness. On September 1, 2013, the Bishop of Arizona created a new position of Canon for Stewardship and Planned Giving, and appointed Canon Dombek as its first holder. A former broadcaster and certified financial planner, he has used his gifts and abilities from those careers to assimilate and communicate practical stewardship skills, ideas and knowledge to help stewardship leaders be excited about their ministry and the good that it makes happen, while at the same time honoring and blessing those who give to fulfill the compelling mission of your congregation. Stewardship ministry is the best ministry going—and you can feel that way about it, too

Seminar Schedule “Making the Annual Pledge Drive Obsolete”
Long gone is the time when congregations can rely on prepackaged annual pledge drives! Each congregation needs its own year-round program, created for local needs and opportunities. Timothy Dombek affirms church leaders by presenting an understanding of financial potential with just enough practical stuff to jumpstart planning for the next year's stewardship campaign.
Terrific for small group conversation and out-of-the box resource development planning.
Very future focused!
