About Our Parish
Church of the Redeemer is a welcoming, biblical, intergenerational, Anglican community led by the Holy Spirit to equip disciples to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ to all people by word and action, in order to offer them the fulfilling life, freedom, and hope found in Christ alone. Redeemer seeks a rector who will embrace our vision, mission, and core values, leading us to grow deeper in Christ and broader in our impact as a church. Our congregation is committed to a vibrant, multigenerational community where discipleship, evangelism, outreach, and worship are at the heart of all we do. We desire a rector who will lead us forward in these ministries, helping us grow both spiritually and numerically, while fostering systems and programs to further empower laity.
About Our Community
Located on the Southside of Jacksonville, our parish comprises congregants from a large swath of the city, including Southside, Arlington, Mandarin, the Beaches, and St. Johns County. As of fall 2026, our current active members total about 150+, made up of 56% women and 44% men. Redeemer’s ethnic makeup is predominantly white, though about 6% of our members are minorities. Our average Sunday attendance is just over 100, which has been consistent since 2021.
We value intergenerational worship and community as a vital part of our identity and mission, and it is our heart’s desire to expand our outreach to individuals and families at all ages and stages of life. We particularly recognize the importance of drawing young adults (Gen Z, Gen Alpha) and Millennials into the life of the church, especially as broader cultural trends indicate a growing disconnection from religious identity and church attendance for these younger adults, coupled with an alarming increase in loneliness for all ages.
Position Overview
The Anglican Church of the Redeemer seeks a rector who will embrace our vision, mission, and core values, leading us to grow deeper in Christ and broader in our impact as a church. Our congregation is committed to a vibrant, multigenerational community where discipleship, evangelism, outreach, and worship are at the heart of all we do. We desire a rector who will lead us forward in these ministries, helping us grow both spiritually and numerically, while fostering systems and programs to further empower laity.
We seek a leader with strong self-awareness and a passion for collaborative ministry—someone who can inspire and guide us while equipping the church for sustainable growth. The ideal rector will have the ability to mentor and develop our lay leaders, ensuring that every member has opportunities to engage actively in our mission to “Know Christ, Grow Together, and Go Into the World.”
A deep love for Scripture, Anglican liturgy, and biblical teaching is essential. We value preaching and teaching that challenges us to go deeper in our faith and equips us to live it out in our daily lives. Candidates must align with Redeemer’s theological stance in favor of women’s ordination and roles in worship, including preaching, celebrating and serving as deacons. We hope for a rector who values our liturgical heritage and can skillfully blend both traditional and contemporary elements to create meaningful and accessible worship experiences.
Finally, we seek a rector who has a heart for and personal experience in one on one evangelism and who can inspire and train us to share Christ with others and sustain and direct our community outreach. This leader will join us in caring for one another and for the “last, the lost, and the least” in our local area, while helping us discern and embrace opportunities to expand our local ministry and global impact. Above all, we are looking for a faithful shepherd who, led by the Spirit, will walk alongside us as we seek to advance the Kingdom of God together.
