Rector Search

Holy Spirit Episcopal Church in Missoula, Montana, is currently searching for a full-time rector. We have begun the process that will help us discern who we are as a Parish, who we want to become, and what qualities and characteristics we are looking for in our next rector. 

Holy Spirit is a vibrant community! We focus on following Christ’s teachings in action through our spiritual, social, and environmental engagement. We are in the latter stages of our Parish Survey and will share the results during upcoming listening sessions on September 21st and 23rd.

On this Rector Search page, you will find links to frequently asked questions about the search and a process timeline. The sidebar has regular updates about where we are in our process. As we complete specific steps in the process, we will be adding the summary of our Parish Survey, Parish Profile, Ministry Portfolio for the Office of Transition Ministry, the job posting that will appear in the Episcopal News Service, and frequent updates about where we are in the search process.

The Search Committee requests your prayers for wisdom and discernment in our search for a new rector for Holy Spirit.

A Prayer for Guidance: Book of Common Prayer, page 832
O God, by whom the meek are guided in judgment, and light rises up in darkness for the godly: Grant us, in all our doubts and uncertainties, the grace to ask what You would have us do, that the Spirit of wisdom may save us from all false choices, and that in Your light we may see light and in Your straight path may not stumble; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
