RECTOR SEARCH
St. John’s is currently in a period of transition as we search for a new Rector to lead our congregation. With faith and hope, we continue to thrive together, supporting one another and strengthening our ministries.

Rector Search Committee
With the Holy Spirit to guide us, we’re confident that the right candidate will be chosen to lead St. John’s in what God is calling us to do next. The search committee has been working with the Vestry and transition minister from the bishop’s office and have completed the written parish profile. The position is now posted and candidates may apply. This process will take a minimum of 8-12 weeks at which point we will move on to the interview stage..
