Incumbent; time Diocese of Athabasca

To experience and share Christ's love in all circumstances and to all people so that the family of Christ, the kingdom of God, is further established.

The Diocese of Athabasca is seeking to transform Northern Alberta, sharing the love of Christ with each other and with all residents so they may experience shalom: health, wholeness, wellness, prosperity, peace, completeness, full relationship with each other and with God, creating communities filled with healthy and vibrant individuals following the Way of Christ. We are the church in action: empowered by the Holy Spirit, embracing all.

One of our parishes, St. John's United-Anglican, a joint Anglican and United Church ecumenical parish, is seeking a ½ stipend priest to join them in this quest.

St. John's United-Anglican is a multi-generational congregation with a thriving Sunday School, eager to grow and serve. As a church family, we are open to exploring new and creative ways to share Christ's message and welcome those seeking a deeper faith. With caring and dedicated leadership, St. John Parish is poised to thrive and flourish, continuing our spiritual journey together while inviting new members into our fellowship.

Our committed core membership is eager to partner with clergy, strengthening pastoral care throughout our community.

We are seeking a warm, enthusiastic leader who has a genuine passion for people and worship- someone who will inspire our congregation and build meaningful connections within the wider church community. We need a compassionate, approachable person who will listen, visit, and walk alongside people in every season of life.
