Open Clergy Positions

Full-time Rector | The Aroostook Cluster

This is a multipoint call consisting of three rural congregation: St. Paul’s, Fort Fairfield; Church of the Good Shepherd, Houlton; and St. John’s, Presque Isle. The cluster operates on a proportional sharing model designed to ensure both equity and sustainability. Leading a three-parish cluster is a unique calling that requires a blend of diplomacy, organizational agility, and deep pastoral care. This role requires a leader who sees “three distinct parishes” not as a complication, but as a vibrant, multifaceted community of faith. Because the parishes share staff and costs, the rector must be a great communicator, as well as someone who can honor individuality and celebrate the unique “flavor” and traditions of each parish, while fostering a sense of unity. These parishes serve primarily farming communities where the pace of life is dictated by the seasons and the land. Being unapologetically rural means the dynamics are defined by deep roots and long memories. While the community faces the common challenges of rural areas—such as geographic distance and changing economic landscapes—it and its people are characterized by a fierce “can do” spirit and a profound sense of mutual reliance. To apply, please send your Vocation Hub profile, resume/CV, and a cover letter addressed to the Search Committee to Transition and Deployment Officer, the Rev. Suzanne Roberts.

Two thirds-time Rector | St. Peter’s, Rockland

St. Peter’s seeks a warm, deeply spiritual, and collaborative leader to be its next rector. This welcoming and inclusive congregation in a beautiful region of coastal Maine has strong lay leadership, a love of liturgy and preaching the Word, and a proven track record of providing impactful outreach to the community. St. Peter’s has an office manager, a talented music director, and a committed community of worshipers, including a surprising number of clergy. Church finances are in good order, the building has a new roof and the grounds are neatly maintained. The church’s location in the center of the city of Rockland is key to the kinds of ministries in which it is engaged. Its external focus has been feeding programs, most notably “Loaves and Fishes,” which has been joined by other congregations including the local synagogue. The parish has also long welcomed seekers: individuals, families, “summer people,” and foreign visitors. Currently, the vestry is exploring ways to collaborate administratively with neighboring Episcopal churches. To apply, please send your Vocation Hub profile, resume/CV, and a cover letter addressed to the Search Committee to Transition and Deployment Officer, the Rev. Suzanne Roberts.

Three quarter-time Rector | St. Ann’s, Windham

St. Ann’s is seeking a collaborative, adaptive, and spiritually grounded rector to guide the congregation with wisdom and care, empowering them to live more fully into their shared mission. The gateway to Maine’s lakes region, Windham combines the close-knit character of a small town with the increasing diversity and energy of a rapidly developing area. St. Ann’s congregation is deeply engaged with the local community through partnerships with neighboring churches, civic organizations, and service ministries. While the parish has historically experienced periods of pastor-centered leadership, it is intentionally broadening opportunities for lay leadership and participation across the life of the church. With thoughtful planning already underway and strong lay leadership emerging, the congregation is eager to partner with a rector who will help us build on our foundation of faithful worship, a warm welcome for all, compassionate service, and joyful community life. To apply, please send your Vocation Hub profile, resume/CV, and a cover letter addressed to the Search Committee to Transition and Deployment Officer, the Rev. Suzanne Roberts.

Full-time Rector | The Parish of St. Mary and St. Jude, Northeast Harbor

Nestled within the breathtaking landscape of Acadia National Park, the Parish of St. Mary and St. Jude serves the villages of Northeast Harbor and Seal Harbor—communities defined by two distinct and dramatic seasons. In the summer, the area is a global destination, which welcomes a sophisticated congregation of seasonal residents and visitors. Conversely, the winters are quiet, remote, and intimate; in the close-knit village of year round residents the church serves as a vital humanitarian pillar and a sanctuary against the isolation of coastal Maine. The parish has a long history that the congregation treasures and reflects the generational aspect of its parishioners. They are looking for a leader who will respect this history while providing the steady, thoughtful guidance necessary to move them into their next chapter of growth. To apply, please send your Vocation Hub profile, resume/CV, and a cover letter addressed to the Search Committee to Transition and Deployment Officer, the Rev. Suzanne Roberts. Names are being accepted through June 10, 2026. Read the complete Position Profile here.
