Associate Rector - Anglican Church in North America

Christchurch Anglican in Montgomery, Alabama, seeks a full-time clergyman to join our vibrant and active parish as an Associate Rector. This position is designed for a male transitional deacon or priest, but postulants or those nearing postulancy for holy orders may also be considered.

Christchurch was founded in 2005 and has since grown to over 700 members on a campus of over 36 acres in a growing area of Montgomery. We have a full-time Rector, two part-time priests, two vocational deacons, and a staff of over 20 (including two paid Assistant Student Ministers) serving a multi-generational church family in the proclamation of the faith delivered once for all to the saints.

This position is intended to shape a clergyman both for ministry within Christchurch and within the broader ACNA. A passion and energy to share the gospel is the essential qualification, as this Associate Rector will teach, preach, and provide pastoral care across all age groups. Over the time this Associate Rector serves at Christchurch, leadership of various ministries (adult formation, pastoral care, missions, etc.) will be assigned. Upon hire, the first area of direct ministry headship will be over our ministries to students and their families.

This position is full-time with full benefits, including family health care, pension, and more. Salary will be commensurate with experience and family circumstances.

Resumes and statements of one’s faith journey can be submitted directly to the Rector at arowell@christchurchanglican.net.
