Job Description St. Luke's, Ypsilanti, is eager to hire a full-time rector who will continue our tradition of meaningful and inclusive worship that strengthens us to do good in the world. The ideal candidate is a first-rate priest who collaborates with the laity in leading a dignified religious service grounded in the Episcopal liturgy of the Book of Common Prayer. Such a person will celebrate the Eucharist every Sunday as well as lead a healing service each Wednesday. The rector should be able to combine a Biblical, historical perspective with human-focused storytelling in sermons. This person should be ready to provide pastoral care, while empowering the congregation to do the same. We also seek a priest who will expand our outreach and involvement in a community that includes a diverse population of college students, long-time residents, and marginalized individuals. St. Luke's is engaged with several ministries in Ypsilanti, including providing a winter warming shelter for our homeless neighbors. Our new rector will support these current outreach efforts and help the church expand its outreach efforts in the community. The ideal rector will also help us to preserve our historic buildings. St. Luke's will celebrate its bicentennial in 2030, and we seek a leader who can lead our congregation into its third century of service to Christ in Ypsilanti.
