  • The opportunity to work with enthusiastic, energetic, and skilled teams of people involved in all aspects of the life of the two churches.
  • Unwavering support and friendship from the people in both congregations.
  • Personal, professional, and spiritual growth opportunities.
  • A rich resource across both parishes, including an Associate priest, retired priests, licensed and unlicensed laity, and a Youth and Children's Minister.
Requirements
  • A strong track record of servant leadership, not necessarily in ordained ministry.
  • Experience in reaching out to all age groups and growing congregations.
  • Ability to delegate tasks and identify and encourage gifts and leadership in others.
  • Vibrant faith and passion for helping others grow in their own faith.
