The process for calling a new rector must be carried out prayerfully and with great care. It will require a commitment of time, energy and resources. It is the Search Committee who is entrusted with the holy work of finding their congregation’s next pastor, priest, and teacher.

The Search Committee will :
Interview Candidates
Review written materials
Zoom interviews
In-Person Interviews
Vestry meets candidates but does not interview
Discern Finalist
Recommend ONE name to the Vestry

The appointment of a Search Committee frees up the Vestry to focus on leading the church through the transition.

The Search Committee will maintain frequent and clear communications with the parish as deemed appropriate. Keep in mind, the Committee must maintain strict confidence about the names of candidates. Updates will be posted here, as well as through all-parish emails.
