Half Stipend Priest-in-Charge

St. Alban’s, Albany is seeking a half-stipend Priest-in-Charge to join their friendly, and mostly older, but still very independent congregation with an average Sunday attendance of 65 participating parishioners. They are a close church family with many longtime members and much history. They seek a priest who has a call to shepherd their spiritual life in the rich tradition of the Episcopal Church and who will preach meaningful sermons relating to everyday life, tend to the needs of the sick and homebound, reach out to the Albany community, and contribute to congregational  growth and vitality across the age spectrum.

Interested applicants please submit your resume and OTM Portfolio to the Rev. Canon Neysa Ellgren at neysae@diocese-oregon.org or 11800 SW Military Lane, Portland, OR 97219.
