The Rector We Seek

The rector we seek will preach, teach, and lead with an excellence that strengthens us in serving people and incorporating them into the life of our church.  Our new rector will lead the vestry in making church decisions and in developing a team of lay leaders who can provide high quality programs.  He or she will strengthen the process by which church members are called and equipped for ministries and leadership.

 

Our new rector will attract new families with children and youth and reach people of all ages, integrating them into the life of the church.  He or she will provide more opportunities for all parishioners to form meaningful relationships with each other and develop their spiritual generosity to financially support the ministries of the church.

 

We seek a rector who embraces Rite I, Rite II, and family-oriented contemporary worship styles, and is comfortable with the use of technology to expand our reach to all who may wish to join us.

 

Our new rector will provide opportunities for Christian education and spiritual formation at every age and stage of life, helping members to discern their spiritual gifts and guiding them in the exercise of their gifts. He or she will guide our congregation beyond our current church community to develop ministries that welcome an increasingly diverse population in the greater Northeast Houston metropolitan area so that our congregation may better reflect the values of the Kingdom of God.

 

Our new rector will serve as the chairperson of the board for the Good Shepherd Episcopal School and, along with at least one vestry liaison and up to three additional parishioners, will help advise the school director.
