| Strengths: St. Mark’s is a spiritually grounded community of caring believers that continues to grow in numbers and service to others. We are financially sound and have a strong commitment to stewardship. We are sensitive to the needs of the communities of thegreater North East Kingdom, and dedicated to community outreach. We are strong in pastoral care and are passionately supportive of mutual ministry through lay participation in preaching, a thriving Sunday school program, lay visitation, and all of our other outreach and community ministries including a food shelf, the Tuesday "Souper Lunch", and PINS. The voice of God acting through the people of Saint Mark’s can be heard and seen every day of the year. | ||
| Challenges: So what is God up to here at St. Mark’s? And how do we move forward with that? Our continuing challenge is to nourish our existing church community and to grow it by our commitment to Christ’s admonition to reach out to the world and share His love with others and welcome them into our church family. An important part of our mutual lay ministry is an active Covenant group (also called a Baptismal ministry) which has been in existence for over two years. It is our prayer that this group wi | ||

| Strengths: St Mary’s is a congregation of 50-60 caring and talented folks with the feel of a committed family (no matter the age 6-96 you’re included and loved). We have a strong faith; love to worship; support both financially and physically as well as participate in church-family life. Our tradition of modified Anglo-Catholic liturgy (bells, good music, a historic 1830 tracker organ, incense) is wedded to an informal & friendly group of folk (why, we even have a dog in our weekly worship.) People who attend are often involved with Northfield community activities. A beautiful Church, a practical Parish Hall, and a period Rectory-St Mary’s is a Parish with a sense of place located in a beautiful town in proximity to the Norwich University campus. St Mary’s tries to help all to feel welcome and be spiritually enriched and educated. There is a small town feel with a big town attitude-“We can do and accomplish anything we choose." A well educated congregation not easily swallowed concerns. | ||
| Challenges: The lack of families and absence of a Church school stymie church growth. Challenged to discover new ways to participate in community involvement. Finding common mission with the 4 Episcopal churches within a 15 mile radius. We are aging and shrinking and need to find new ways to grow. Effective parish-wide communication. New methods and energy to welcome and incorporate newcomers. Maintaining and growing our tradition of Sacramental Life and music. Maintaining our physical plant. | ||
| Comments: Priority: Pastor - nurture and equip for growth; Preacher - make the Gospel relevant to our lives. Encouraging Growth to reshape, redevelop, restart Ministry to Youth; Spiritual Guidance; Music. | ||

| BETHESDA, MD | ST. JOHN'S CHURCH |
Listed: 08/22/08 Updated: 12/14/09 |
| Position: Rector | Full Time |
Status: No Longer Receiving Names |
| Strengths: Outstanding lay leadership in the congregation and shared with the diocese, commitment to transformative outreach, well educated, progressive congregation with healthy and holy expectations of their leaders and a commitment to practice their faith daily, undertaken capital improvements including a new organ that are paid for, an effective strategic plan and mission and solid footing as a program-sized congregation. | ||
| Challenges: At a crossroads between being a neighborhood and a destination church. Have the capacity with respect to program and ministry to become a resource sized congregation, but that may not be the congregation's desire. In spite of far-sighted attempts to secure more property in the adjacent shopping center, the basic building foot print is the limit of their building capacity for the moment. | ||

| Strengths: While the recesssion has had an impact, this is a part of Charles County that is still growing. Large number of children and families at Trinity Church. A number of county leaders are members of the vestry and leaders in the church. Facilities are in excellent condition. Very real care and attention paid to children. Expressed openness to shared ministry with other congregations, but no plan has emerged for this. Thrift store is a ministry in many ways and especially supports excellent outreachwork. Sense of being part of the diocese and the larger church. | ||
| Challenges: Two worship locations, one parish, vestry. Struggling to preserve "family feel" while in transition from family to pastoral sized. Conflict with previous priest-in-charge over change. This time reentering search with an interim who knows the region well, as well as their strengths and challenges. | ||

|
| Strengths: Trinity is located in the middle of downtown Morgantown, right in the midst of West Va. Univ activity. They have college ministry with a part-time college minister (lay). The parish sponsors a strong feeding program for those struggling economically. The leadership is tenacious and faithful. Significant missionary work at home and abroad. | ||
| Challenges: Rector of 17 yrs. retired, having lost members who were concerned that he was too conservative and members who believed he was not conservative enough, leaving a moderately conservative congregational base. Relationship with the diocese has been strained, even though Bishop Klusmeyer is himself a centrist conservative. College ministry has been fairly conservative evangelical. Financially, they are struggling, but had a good stewardship campaign in the Fall. | ||
| Comments: Will take a seasoned priest, spiritually-centered, who is comfortable with both evangelical and broad-church traditions. There is opportunity here for re-growth and increased college ministry. | ||

| Comments: Would be helpful if new rector had some transition training. Following a long rectorate, not all the transitional work will be done by interim. This is a bed-rock parish in the diocese. | ||
