Rector Search
April 1, 2019 -- Our search for a new Rector is underway! We have commissioned a Rector Search Committee, which is meeting weekly. Members of the parish came together for our Day of Discovery on Saturday, March 16th to explore who we are as St. Francis, where we wish to go in the future, and what we're looking for in a new Rector. The Search Committee is now translating the results of that effort into a Parish Profile, an Office of Transition Ministry Portfolio for St. Francis, and a Rector Job Description.
May 29, 2019 -- After working the last 9 weeks on completing a 12-question form for the Office of Transitional Ministry Profile, the Search Committee has turned the form in to the Vestry for final approval, who will then send it on to the Diocese. Meanwhile, the Search Committee has also spent the past several weeks working on the last item to be completed, the Parish Profile. That document is now almost ready for Vestry approval, and once approved it will also be sent to the Diocese. At that point the Diocese will begin to take applications for the position. The completed Parish Profile will be posted on this page once it has been approved and forwarded, and an announcement will be posted when the Diocese is ready to begin accepting candidates for the Rector position.
