New Rector Search

St John’s is a thriving congregation, seeking names in consideration for our full-time rector, after wishing former rector The Reverend Dr. Mariann Edgar Budde all the best in her new role as Bishop of Washington D.C.

Learn about St John’s by reading our Parish Profile pdf that explains who we are, who we are called to be and what we are looking for in a new rector, complete with links to additional information as desired.

Funds Needed for Rector Search - Can You Help?

We are making great progress in St John's rector search. As expected, there are substantial one-time costs involved in this search that need to be raised outside of our operating budget. We have about $25,000 to raise to cover recruitment, relocation and welcome expenses.

We are calling on all St John's members to help with these search costs as much as they are able. This is a key moment in our history, and we have high aspirations for the type of rector we want to call. You can donate online or by delivering a check to church (please put 'Search Costs' in the memo line). Questions?

Our community is excited and prayerful about this process. We look forward to welcoming the rector who is called to lead us into the future.
