Calling Our Next Rector
Good Samaritan Episcopal Church is in the process of calling a new rector. After a community discernment process, much study and thoughtful discussion, our Call Committee has created a detailed parish profile. The profile shares who we are, how we worship, and how we strive to serve God, our community, and our world. We also share our hopes for a new rector. The application process closed on October 26, 2024. We are now carefully reviewing candidates, in prayer and gratitude for God’s blessings.
