Our Rector Search Committee thanks all internal and external contributors to this important process. Our congregants provided valuable input through multiple listening sessions, group discussions, and written comments. Our community partners provided content to highlight our many partnerships and area amenities. These contributions were vital in determining our strengths, needs, and future opportunities to share the Word of God with others.

St. John’s Vestry named a search committee with special attention to our emphasis on diversity, inclusion, and equity. The six members represent life-long Episcopalians as well as those new to the denomination; it includes different minority populations, genders, orientations, family structures, and professions. We invite you to learn more about our committee members at the links below.
