In November this year the Diocese of Coventry was pleased to announce the appointment of the Reverend Adam Tams as its new Generous Giving Enabler, a key part-time role within the Healthy Churches team dedicated to nurturing a culture of generosity across the diocese.
Adam brings significant experience in ministry, leadership, and church operations, most recently serving as Vicar of St Jude’s Southsea in the Diocese of Portsmouth. He began working for the Diocesan Board of Finance on 10th November, combining this role with his parish responsibilities as Priest in Charge of the Offchurch Group in Southam Deanery.
As Generous Giving Enabler, Adam will work across parishes to inspire both theological understanding and the practical implementation of Christian generosity. His role will involve equipping clergy and lay leaders to teach confidently on giving, developing accessible resources through the Diocesan Equip Hub, and communicating the transformative impact of generosity throughout the diocese. He will work closely with Simon Jones, the Diocesan Stewardship Advisor, who continues to lead the Digital Giving and Stewardship Advisory work.

Generosity Resources
Every church is at a different stage in its generosity journey. Our range of resources reflects those differences. Explore below and in the side menu.
- The Generous Church Review is a detailed ‘deep dive’ and requires time and commitment.
- By contrast the Generous Church Check-up is more of a snapshot – some churches like to do it every year to take their pulse on this important area.
- The Generosity Fika takes half a day and is aimed at any small group – home group, PCC or any other interested parties. It is helpful in identifying strengths and areas of improvement.
- Generosity Week happens every year in September and is supported by the national church.
- The eight Living Generously films and Study Guides are ideal for small groups.
