Job Title
Rector
Name of church or organization
St. John’s Episcopal Western Run Parish
Location
Reisterstown, MD
Job Description
Our next rector must, as one member put it, “preach the love of God and deliver it to the congregation in a warm, joyful and loving way—and humor helps.”

We seek a rector who can bring growth, particularly with young couples and families, continue the strong discipleship that has been built here, and advance our significant mission and outreach programs.  We seek a preacher who can make scripture relevant in the 21st century and challenge people to a deeper faith.

As a church we offer both Rite I and Rite II. At various times we have had a single rector; at others, a rector and an associate. The new rector must be nimble, work independently and collaboratively with a capable staff and, if budget allows, an associate.

While we seek a strong leader who can keep the church fiscally sound and spiritually dynamic, our new rector will have deep faith and a love for all God’s children and be a community builder. While many members of the parish state they are looking for a progressive priest, the congregation has many different perspectives. Our new rector will embrace our diversity as a strength in this unique moment in our country.

The best candidate for St. John’s is a good listener. As a small, strong, faithful community, we seek someone who will take time to get to know and understand the congregation so we can grow and learn together through mutual respect in faith. A mature follower of Christ, our new rector will lead an eager flock to greater love and grace.
