Associate Rector Search

Here at St. Mark’s we are seeking an Associate Rector to join our clergy team with Rector, Peter Walsh, and Senior Associate, Elizabeth Garnsey. The Rev. John Kennedy has been called to serve as Rector of another parish. We are overjoyed for him!

St. Mark’s is a Jesus-centered and energetic parish of 1,600 members (~300 ASA, plus live stream audience) one hour from New York City. We are pursuing our mission to go and make disciples who live a deeper life in Christ, a more holy communion with one another, and a greater love for the world. This website, our YouTube (@stmarksnewcanaan), Instagram (@stmarksnewcanaan), and weekly podcast (Rev’d Up for Sunday), provide an excellent view into our life together.

For our next Associate Rector, we seek a parish priest energized by celebrating, preaching, teaching, and pastoring a faith-filled, loving, engaged, and resourced congregation as part of an outstanding clergy team and talented lay staff.  The Associate will focus on outreach and service ministries (including a program aligned with Jesus’ call to serve in Matthew 25), and youth ministry, and will be an equal third of the Rev’d Up podcast panel. This is a position for a priest who brings curiosity, warmth, and theological depth to every context, from the pulpit to the podcast to a high school gathering.

The ideal candidate will have been a parish priest for a few (maybe many) years, looking for a place to live into your call where you can have specific areas of influence without having to be all things to all people. 

In addition to a competitive salary, this call comes with housing, full benefits, and professional development support. Did we mention St. Mark’s is a great place to work? Send us your resume, cover letter, and links to two or three sermons to begin the conversation with us (or just email your questions). We can’t wait to meet you!
