Position Opportunity

Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, Auburn AL

(Posted 08/30/2022 – Application Deadline 10/15/2022)

 

The Parish

Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, located a few blocks from Auburn University, is among the ten largest Episcopal congregations in the Diocese of Alabama. The multi-generational parish includes young families, college students, faculty members and other professionals, and active retirees. Under capable clergy direction, the church has developed strong lay leadership, especially in children’s formation, relational missions, music, and stewardship. The parish values liturgy that unites us in Christ, preaching that deepens our knowledge of God, and holy fellowship that sustains us for the work of ministry.

 

The Opportunity

Holy Trinity seeks an experienced, full-time rector, its sixth since the parish was founded in 1957. The rector will lead a program staff of three clergy and nine laypersons. The congregation desires in its next rector, above all, the gifts of preaching, instruction, and pastoral care—gifts that working together will encourage us to mature in faith, discover possibilities for ministry, and find our own lives in the story of God’s saving acts. To lead this program-level parish, our next rector will also require gifts of administration, talent development, and oversight, so that the full potential of staff members and parishioners can be engaged.
