Job Opportunity: Incumbent

St. Saviour’s Anglican Church is a historically grounded and active parish within the Diocese of Rupert’s Land, marked by a strong commitment to inclusion, outreach, and lay leadership. The parish has demonstrated a clear capacity to adapt pastorally and theologically, particularly through its intentional cultivation of an inclusive worshipping community since 2015.

At its core, St. Saviour’s understands its vocation as walking alongside a suffering world. This is evident in both its internal life and outward ministries, reflecting a deeply incarnational and service-oriented identity.

The parish is sustained by robust lay participation and organizational structure. It has active committees supporting worship, formation, outreach, and administration. This leadership model provides stability and shared ownership of parish life. Its mission and outreach engagement is a strength. Its ministries address local and systemic needs through food programs, school partnerships, prison ministry, and community care initiatives. These reflect a lived commitment to Gospel service. St. Saviour’s has shown leadership in developing a culture of inclusion, engaging difficult questions around diversity, mental health, and belonging. This positions the parish as a potential model within the Diocese. Its existing ministries provide a strong foundation for this development. The parish also has the capacity to offer diocesan leadership in inclusive practice and diaconal ministry, helping to shape broader patterns of ministry across Rupert’s Land.

St Saviour’s seeks a priest who is;

• Spiritually grounded – rooted in prayer, Scripture, and sacramental life
• Missionally oriented – committed to engaging the community beyond church walls
• Relationally skilled – able to build trust, navigate conflict, and foster unity
• Courageous in leadership – willing to address challenges honestly and lead change
• Collaborative – able to work with lay leaders, wardens, and the wider Diocese

This is a faithful and engaged parish with significant potential. Its future will depend on its willingness to align its strengths with a clear and sustainable missional vision. With our new incumbent walking alongside us, with courage, clarity, and continued openness to the Spirit, St. Saviour’s can grow not only as a parish that serves, but as one that leads in the Diocese of Rupert’s Land.
