Senior Rector Church Shepherd Anglican parish in and West

Church of the Good Shepherd is a gospel-centered Anglican parish in Bellevue, West Nashville, seeking a full-time Rector to shepherd our community into its next chapter.

Founded in 2020, Good Shepherd is a young, resilient congregation of approximately 100 adults rooted in Word, Sacrament, prayer, and fellowship. After a season of significant transition, we are a healthier, more grounded church - unified in our desire to abide in Christ and bear fruit for the sake of our neighbors.

We are not looking for someone to rescue or reinvent us. We are seeking a shepherd: a person of genuine faith, humility, and warmth whose leadership flows from a life deeply formed by prayer and Scripture. Our ideal Rector listens before acting, earns trust before leading, and is energized by the slow, faithful work of forming disciples together. More information about our parish can be found in our parish profile.
