The purpose of this study was to explore resource mobilization and management for clergy remuneration in ACK Diocese of Embu. A descriptive study was carried out in four archdeaconries and inferential statistics were obtained using SPSS.The archdeaconries that were studied were Nginda,Kagaari, Kianjokoma and Karungu.The study findings indicate that the resources available for clergy remuneration are land, investments(businesses such as rental income, book shops and schools) and also quota payments. Quota payments were identified as the major current strategy used to mobilize resources for clergy payment. Respondents identified various strategies for mobilizing resources which included decentralizing quota payments to the parish,(60% of quota to go to the diocese and 40% to pay the clergy) and exploiting other resources available.
