Rector Search
Collect for the Search
Almighty God, in our search for a new leader of this parish, we pray that you will instill in us your wisdom; that with thoughtful minds and open hearts we may be led to discern a true and loyal servant for our community. May we be guided at every step by the Holy Spirit and by our Shepherd, the Lord Jesus Christ.
St. John’s has entered an important season of discernment as it begins the search for its next rector. Guided by prayer, reflection, and the collective wisdom of the parish, the search committee is working to listen deeply to the hopes, needs, and aspirations of the congregation.
This process is rooted in transparency and collaboration, inviting parishioners to share their voices as the community seeks a leader who will nurture spiritual growth, strengthen ministries, and help chart a faithful path forward. As St. John’s looks toward the future, the search represents not just a transition in leadership but an opportunity to reaffirm its mission and embrace the next chapter of its life together.
