Updated: Jul 26

After much prayer and contemplation, evaluation and review, we are ready to open our search for a Priest in Charge!


We invite you to review our Parish Profile and our Office of Transitional Ministry listing (both below) and prayerfully consider if you feel called to serve with us at St. John's!


Application and inquiries may be sent to the Rev. Canon Amy Chambers Cortright, Canon to the Ordinary of the Diocese of Lexington at amyc@diolex.org. Receiving names until September 15, 2024.


Dear God, source of all wisdom and good guidance, support our church, guide our hearts and minds and direct a clergy to serve as Priest-in-Charge that we might find and be found by one another and serve out our ministry to the glory of your kingdom, through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.

Now we discern and continue our prayers.

Our Parish Profile has been polished and completed and paperwork for the Office of Transition Management is now in the hands of the Canon to the Ordinary Amy Chambers Cortright.  The search process now enters as more confidential phase as the Search Committee begins to receive and review resumes and applications.  Gifts and skills, experiences and accomplishments will be compared with the needs and desires of the congregation and each will be prayerfully considered and reviewed.  Interviews will take place and mutual discernment will begin.  No additional updates will be provided until a candidate has been recommended, approved and accepted by the Vestry, Bishop Mark Van Koevering and the candidate and an appointment made and accepted. 

The Search Committee requests your daily prayers for its deliberations as well as the congregation as a whole and the candidates as they discern.
