Rector

About our parishes:

• Both parishes are rooted in the Episcopal tradition, with active lay participation and a commitment to inclusive worship.
• We offer vibrant ministries for all ages and a deep commitment to outreach and service.
• Our communities value spiritual growth, fellowship, and innovation in worship.
• We are situated in the beautiful western Maryland mountains with access to biking and hiking trails, water and winter sports and numerous state parks.
• Our small towns are steeped in history and played prominent roles in Colonial America.
• Our churches have historical roots in our communities. Emmanuel was established in 1803, and St John’s was established in 1851.
• We are home to two institutions of higher learning: Frostburg State University and Allegany College of Maryland.

We are seeking a priest with strong preaching, teaching, and pastoral skills, along with a commitment to inclusion, diversity, and community service. Experience leading or serving multiple congregations is a plus.
