We are calling a Rector who is deeply grounded spiritually and biblically, and who preaches and teaches in clear, authentic, and compelling ways.  Our Rector will be a fellow companion on our journey of faith – someone who is pastoral, inclusive, and engaging to lead from within the congregation.  Our priest will have vision, skill, creativity, and energy to lead us forward into a vibrant and sustainable future, while retaining respect for our past and place.

A quieter, unhurried, yet culturally vibrant world greets the person who steps ashore on Whidbey Island.  The largest island on the Pacific Coast of the contiguous United States, our surpassingly beautiful landscape is comprised of many miles of shoreline, evergreen forests, small farms, and communities of both permanent and ‘weekend’ homes.  Accessed by a short ferry ride, the multiple satellite cities of Seattle are just across the water.  When speaking of what St. Augustine’s means to them, our loving congregants use words such as “family,” “community,” “belonging,” “home,” and “beauty”.  We are a close, committed, hopeful and imaginative congregation eager to welcome our new Rector and to grow together into a richly blessed future.
