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. It also shares our hopes for a new rector and an invitation to apply for the position on or before October 26, 2024. For application information, click here.
