Almighty God, giver of every good gift: Look graciously on your Church, and so guide the minds of those who shall choose a rector for this parish that we may receive a faithful pastor, who will care for your people and equip us for our ministries; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

The Parish Profile Committee will be charged with creating an attractive, honest, web-based document which will serve to introduce the parish to candidates, and help guide the Search Committee in discerning the qualities we seek in a new rector. They will begin with extensive information gathering, both within our congregation as well as in the wider community, using small group meetings, personal interviews as well as written questionnaires. We aim to have the Profile completed by the beginning of the coming summer.

Using the Parish Profile as a guiding document, the Search Committee will be charged with conducting the search process. They will receive names from a variety of sources, including parishioners, other clergy, and a September deployment conference attended by Canon to the Ordinary Sarah Shofstall. The committee will contact candidates and solicit applications, and ultimately conduct interviews and visits. They will present one candidate to the vestry for the vestry's approval.
