The Rector Search Committee Needs You!
February 22, 2024
Thank you! to all for your input to our Discernment Dialogues and personal discussions. Your hopes, dreams and ideas will drive the creation of our very short (so Louise and Mary promise me 😃) Rector Search Survey, coming soonish. After the results are tabulated, we will hold a parish meeting to review the results with everyone to be sure that we got it right.
The specific vision of the congregation going forward, expressed in the survey in terms of ministries of St Paul’s, both within the church, in our local community as well as our world, forms the heart of our Parish Profile. We plan to complete our Parish Profile and post our Rector position opening shortly after the survey and parish meeting. Stay Tuned!
Parish Prayer for the Search Committee
Almighty God, giver of every good gift: Look graciously on your Church at St Paul’s, and so guide the Search Committee and Vestry to find and choose a rector for this Parish, that we may receive a faithful pastor, who will care for Your people and encourage our ministries; through Jesus Christ our LORD. Amen
We value your Input!
The Search Committee is compiling a Parish Profile to share with potential Rector candidates. The Profile articulates who we are as the people of St Paul’s Episcopal Church, Steamboat Springs, as well as the gifts we are seeking in a new Rector. We need to hear your thoughts, concerns, observations, and dreams!
One of the many challenges of living in a beautiful resort town is welcoming and connecting with the entirety of our St Paul’s community: full time residents who attend Sunday services, locals with heavy schedule commitments, part time residents who visit with favorable weather, those who travel frequently and those whose ideas come late at night.
We’ve planned several different ways to engage and are hopeful that these options meet the diverse needs of our parishioners and attendees. You are invited to participate in as many of these that work for you.

The broader the participation, the more accurate and authentic our Profile will be. We look forward to hearing from each of you.
Thank you!
