Part Time Assistant Rector or Director of Christian Formation
St. Peter’s Church in the Great Valley is currently seeking a new ministry partner. The right person for this position may be ordained or lay. The role we wish to fill is centered on Christian formation for children, youth and families and includes oversight of the communications of the parish in coordination with the communications commission.
This position is a great opportunity to be a leader in a dynamic faith community, positively impact people’s lives, and serve with enthusiastic and experienced ministry partners. The assistant/director will oversee ministry related to children, youth, and families. This position will involve care of families, recruiting and training leaders for existing programs, developing new programs, and organizing Christian Formation in general, including communicating to the parish and community. Additionally, the assistant/director will be a member of the program staff team and share in ministry as agreed upon with the rector.
Located in Chester County, Pennsylvania on a beautiful 16 acre campus, for most of our history we were a rural church on a hill. Now we are a neighborhood church with a large housing development on one side and a retirement community on the other. Some parishioners walk to church, most arrive by car from around the county. St. Peter’s is known for its strong music program and for being faithfully welcoming. Also, we are in the process of expanding our food ministry and connections with the community.
Candidates should have relevant training and experience in Christian formation, familiarity with Episcopal tradition, and an interest in setting vision and raising up leadership. Excellent communication and organization skills are required. Strong candidates will be self-motivated, and also eager to collaborate. If you are interested, please send a cover letter and resume to the Reverend Abigail Crozier Nestlehutt at abigail@stpetersgv.org.
