Rector Search
St. James Episcopal Church is engaged in a thoughtful and prayerful process to discern the calling of our next Rector.
Guided by the Holy Spirit and in partnership with the Diocese, the Vestry and Search Committee are committed to a process rooted in faith, listening, and trust. This season of discernment invites us to reflect carefully on our history, our present ministry, and the future to which God is calling us, grounded in the strong life and witness of St. James.
Out of respect for candidates and the integrity of the discernment process, information about the search is shared in a measured and appropriate way. Updates will be provided as they become available and when it is faithful to do so.
We ask the parish and friends of St. James to hold this work in prayer, trusting that God will lead us faithfully in due time.
A Prayerful Process
The search for a Rector is not simply a process of selection, but a season of discernment. We approach this work with humility, patience, and confidence in God’s guidance, believing that the right leadership will emerge through careful listening and prayer.
With Gratitude and Hope
We are grateful for the faithfulness of this parish and for all who support St. James during this time. We move forward with hope, trusting that God’s purposes for this community continue to unfold.
