Christ Church is a growing congregation of more than 6,000 in one of the nation’s fastest-growing cities. As the number of visitors and new families rises, we see a deep yearning for belonging and authentic connection. We’re looking for a priest who combines a warm, approachable presence with strategic and theological depth—someone who can listen well, inspire collaboration, and help our ministries grow more deeply connected around a shared vision. You’ll share fully in preaching, teaching, worship, and pastoral care, representing Christ Church with grace, authenticity, and joy. The ideal priest will bring a ministry of presence marked by empathy and attentiveness—someone who cultivates trust, celebrates others’ gifts, and helps the whole-body flourish together.
