Assistant to Rector Pastoral Care and Parish

Holy Trinity Anglican Church is a parish within the Anglican Diocese of the South. Our worship, which is steeped in The Book of Common Prayer, is intended first and foremost to glorify God in Jesus Christ, and we stand in that theological tradition which owes a debt of gratitude to the early ecumenical councils of the undivided church and to the great reformers of the English Reformation.

Holy Trinity strives to order its parish life around “the apostles’ teaching, the fellowship, the breaking of bread, and the prayers” (Acts 2:42).

Holy Trinity is looking to hire a priest in good standing within the Anglican Church in North America to assist our rector and the other assisting clergy in the responsibility of pastoral care and parish life ministries within the life of the parish.
