Job Description
St. Matthew's Episcopal Church is a vibrant and inclusive faith community rooted in worship, outreach, and fellowship located in Indianapolis, IN.
The parish, a place both reverent and relaxed, is known for its open and affirming stance, welcoming people from all backgrounds with "open hearts and caring hands."
St. Matthew's is seeking a priest who will walk alongside the congregation, encouraging and supporting all to be better versions of themselves. Holy Conversations and discernment surveys reflect a desire for a priest who emphasizes the importance of building a Christian community, sustaining its life and growth, and developing disciples of Christ.
The parish is looking for a candidate with a flexible leadership style, who knows when to be collaborative, when to delegate and entrust others, and when to coach and train others.
Pastoral attributes important to the parishioners are flexibility and respect for others; ministering to the sick, shut-in, and bereaved; attracting and incorporating new members; and welcome for visitors.
The community envisions its future as a time of multigenerational discipleship, with new and younger members, children, and strong diversity. A vibrant priest could lead St. Matthew's to more visibility, to more engagement in nearby communities, to fuller pews and expanded outreach opportunities. Now is the time to take new adventures and continue to grow as a beacon of hope for the east side of Indianapolis.
