Hertford is a small but diverse community with strong historical and familial roots. We have several buildings that were constructed before the Revolutionary War and many were built in the early 1900’s. Both Perquimans County and the town of Hertford, which is the county seat, are one of the faster growing parts of northeastern North Carolina. There are efforts underway to attract industry to the county that will increase job opportunities for local residents. The school system is considered one of the best in our part of North Carolina. We have a local community theater, Arts League that supports our local artists, and facilities at Albemarle Plantation (a local gated community 8 miles south of Hertford) that are open to the public (including an excellent golf course, restaurants, and a Marina).

In spite of our treasures of history and climate, there are challenges our community faces as do many smaller towns across our country which include: a lack of employment opportunities for our young people and an aging population.

We are seeking a priest with energy, enthusiasm and a genuine desire to nurture our congregation as together we fulfill Holy Trinity's mission. Our next Rector will find a loving body of Christ in our active congregation to support him or her in being the spiritual leader we each need to guide us on our Christian journey. We seek a priest who can provide compelling and inspiring sermons, compassionate and spiritual leadership, and be approachable with pastoral skills.
