Description

Additional comments re: compensation, benefits and housing.

This is a unique 6-7 month Interim position between the retirement of long term rector and the next rector.

Liturgical style and practice

Broad church with elegance, over 5 Sunday liturgies. BCP and Hymnal are standard, but are supplemented with other approved resources.

Strengths

Robust congregational ministries led by laity.

Willing to take a risk in starting fresh ministries.

Above average resources in talent and finances.

Highly capable staff of paid and retired clergy; as well as an excellent lay staff.

We do a great deal of hands-on ministry, and don’t just throw money at issues or complications.

Substantial campus with a garden, excellent buildings, historical cemetery, lovely grounds.

Challenges

We are seeking an experienced priest, preferably with Interim training, for a short-term Interim role from January through summer of 2024.  This priest should have healthy administrative experience in a large church or non-profit, the ability to come in and 'steer' the crew quickly and with compassion.
