Renewal Information
Temple Recommend renewal interviews are available with a Stake Presidency counselor following your interview with a Bishop or member of your Bishopric. These interviews take place at the Stake Center every Sunday from 2:00 to 3:00 PM and Wednesdays from 6:30 to 7:30 PM. No appointments are necessary, but it is recommended that you check the Kent Stake website at www.kentstake.org for any schedule changes before you arrive. If necessary, you may also schedule an appointment outside the regular schedule with Stake Assistant Clerk, Victor Wareham.
For first-time recommend interviews, an appointment with the Stake President must be made after your Bishop interview. Please contact the Stake Executive Secretary, David Jenks, to schedule an appointment.
To access contact information, please log in to your Church account at www.churchofjesuschrist.org and access the online directory.
