Rector Search

The Search Has Begun!

The search for a new Rector for Trinity has begun. Dr. Trevor Harris has been tasked by Vestry to chair the Search Committee. The committee will undertake the search and will make recommendations to Vestry for a decision. The committee will be assisted and advised about the search process by the Venerable Faith Perrizo who has spoken to both the congregation and to Vestry on recent occasions. The search committee will also draw upon the experience and advice of Father John and Bobby Justiss as senior warden, and other members of Vestry. Central to the search process, however, is the involvement of the whole congregation. This involvement will permeate the entire process and will include an important survey (please see Church Survey below) to help generate a Trinity profile to ensure a good match with potential candidates. It will be important that the entire congregation provides feedback to the search committee throughout the search, and every effort will be made to facilitate that process. Trevor and the search committee will also be responsible for keeping the congregation informed about events and progress during the search.

We will continue to keep you posted on future developments.

O merciful GOD, who knows the needs of your Church and the people in this place: look favorably upon us at this our time of need; guide the search committee and this congregation to do your great works to the best of our humble abilities; and of your great goodness grant unto us a parish priest according to your will, who shall willingly perform your bidding; and this we pray through our Lord Jesus the Christ, the Shepherd and Bishop of our souls. AMEN
