St. John the Evangelist

Job Description
Through a process of discernment and deep listening, we identified our strengths and weaknesses. We believe that God is calling us to be a welcoming, supportive and safe presence in our downtown community.

The areas we feel God is calling us to pay attention to are:
-We are hopeful our Priest-in-Charge will support and guide us in continuing our ongoing mission projects (HUB), but also challenge us to serve more—whether that’s a soup kitchen, a thrift store, or a warming center.
-We are hopeful our new Priest-in-Charge will help us identify our gifts and skills, and invite others from the Stockton community into mission and ministry.
-We are hopeful our new Priest-in-Charge will help us further our prayer life through a variety of opportunities: adult groups, guest speakers, and formation. We feel these opportunities are a way for us to deepen our faith and welcome others to community prayer life.
-We are hopeful our new Priest-in-Charge will assist us in determining ways to best utilize our beautiful, historic church and buildings.
-We are hopeful our new Priest-in-Charge will help us grow into a leader of the Northern Deanery. As our community grows in cohesion and leadership, we can expand our community presence.
