Full-Time Rector | St. John’s, Petaluma
St. John’s, Petaluma
Location: Petaluma, California
Website: www.saintjohnsepiscopalpetaluma.org
Current Status: Seeking Full-Time Rector | Receiving names until August 22, 2025.
St. John’s is a close-knit faith community grounded in Christ and shaped by deep relationships, spiritual exploration, and service to one another and the wider world. Together, they share the sacred rhythms of life, worship, and growth in a community that seeks to love as Christ loves. Join them in their wonderful town of Petaluma (rated by CNN as one of the 10 best small towns in the United States!).
St. John’s is energized and eager to call a Rector who shares their hopefulness; someone who is drawn to who they are now, and inspired by who they are becoming. They are looking for a partner in ministry who will help them grow into the fullness of their calling as disciples of Jesus Christ. When they asked members of their community what qualities they most hope to see in their next Rector, certain words and themes rose again and again: Spiritual. Energetic. Inclusive. Collaborative. Warm. Thoughtful. Musically-oriented. Wise. A galvanizing preacher. A compassionate and connected leader in our local community. They know no one person will embody all these gifts perfectly, but are seeking someone with whom they can grow in mutual support and trust; a Rector whose gifts will help call forth the best in them, and for whom they can also be a source of joy, growth, and spiritual nourishment.
To apply, please send resume, cover letter and Office of Transition Ministry (OTM) profile to the Rev. Julie Wakelee, Canon to the Ordinary, Diocese of Northern California, julie@norcalepiscopal.org by August 22, 2025.
