Positions Offered

According to our recently published Diocesan Profile,the Episcopal Church in Oklahoma is growing in health and vitality due to several factors: an emphasis on church growth and evangelism, an active plan of church planting, the planting and growth of Spanish speaking and bilingual congregations, the formation of bi-vocational priests to serve smaller congregations, and the recent development of a small church initiative to foster growth and evangelism in smaller congregations.The following Oklahoma congregations have produced their own Profile as they search for a full-time priest.

All Saints, Duncan. Duncan is the county seat for Stephens County, and is located on the historic Chisolm Trail. A branch campus of Cameron University and a regional medical center are nearby. All Saints is a small (ASA 50) but debt-free church that supports five outreach efforts in the community.
