Rector Search

Almighty God, giver of every good gift: Look graciously on your Church, and so guide the minds of those who shall choose a rector for this parish, that we may receive a faithful pastor, who will care for your people and equip us for our ministries; lead us to a rector who will be a blessing to Christ Church, and for whom Christ Church will be a blessing; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Our Process

Christ Church Port Republic is currently conducting a search for a new rector and will be accepting applications now through December first.

By the grace of God, Christ Church Port Republic has served the spiritual needs of its parishioners for over 350 years. It has done so by providing scripture-based preaching and teaching, loving pastoral care, and warm fellowship. It is our hope that, with God’s help, our next rector will help us sustain these traditions while at the same time helping us grow to meet the challenges and opportunities that fast-changing times bring.

Set in a bucolic, exurban location within minutes of Chesapeake Bay, the Church is within easy driving distance of Annapolis, Baltimore, and Washington D.C. We trust that our historic church building, parish hall, rectory, healthy endowment, and engaged congregation will provide all the elements necessary to help our next rector lead a flourishing congregation for years to come.
