Classifieds: St. Martha’s Episcopal Church Seeks Next Rector

Positions Offered

Papillion, a suburb of Omaha, is located in the fastest-growing county in Nebraska. With our modern and flexible physical plant at a busy and visible address, diverse and engaged congregation, and commitment to celebratory inclusivity, St. Martha’s Episcopal Church is poised to continue to grow alongside our larger community. We are seeking a rector who will share our values while also challenging us to be better tomorrow than we are today. As a congregation, we are committed to hospitality, open-mindedness, and exploring the most pressing issues of our time through the lens of our spiritual heritage. Our strengths include our multi-generational church family with lots of children, generous outreach ministries, strong lay leadership, and a warm culture of curiosity. Our biggest challenge is adapting to our continued, modest, growth—organizationally, relationally, and financially. We pray that you are interested in discerning alongside us as to whether we might be called to reflect the love of Jesus together. We welcome applications from priests as diverse and gifted as our larger Episcopal Church. Interested applicants may contact Canon Liz Easton, who is accepting applications until August 16, 2019. leaston@dioneb.org or (402) 341-5373. http://www.stmarthaspapillion.org
