About Our Community

Holy Cross draws parishioners from urban, suburban, and rural settings, reflecting the broad diversity of the surrounding region. The Cathedral is located in Loganville, Georgia, which is in Gwinnett County but very near the Walton County line. Gwinnett
County (1 million residents) is one of the principal counties of the Atlanta metropolitan area, known for its many well-maintained parks and variety of shopping and dining establishments. Walton County (110,000 residents) is more typical of rural Georgia where small homesteads and hobby farms are common.

Position Overview

The next Dean of the Cathedral must be deeply committed to Scripture and its historical, orthodox interpretation. This orthodoxy will be reflected in preaching and teaching that is rooted in Scripture and manifests its authority. The Dean must be committed to exegetical preaching and teaching from Scripture with application to parishioners’ daily lives rather than topical, “self-help,” or social/political commentary. Even so, current events and issues should be addressed from the pulpit (often encouraging prayer), thus connecting biblical teaching and the world and culture outside the four walls of the church.

Preaching should follow the Anglican lectionary. All worship services will be conducted in conformity with the Anglican tradition, the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion, the Creeds of the church, and above all, the Scriptures. Preaching should not be excessively formal or academic/theological but should seek to apply the Scriptures to the needs of the congregation. The Dean must be a man passionately committed to the Word of God.

Background & leadership experience:

  • Ordained priest in the Anglican Church in North America.

  • Has earned an M.Div. If the degree was completed at a non-Anglican seminary, the candidate should have completed a Certificate in Anglican Studies or have adequate experience and formation within the Anglican Church.

  • Has at least seven years of experience as a rector or senior associate, preferably at a church with an average Sunday attendance (ASA) of at least 150, or otherwise has had commensurate pastoral and organizational leadership experience.

  • Proficient and skilled manager who has overseen budgets of $1M+.

Personal & Spiritual Traits:

  • Daily seeks the guidance and leading of the Holy Spirit through the practice of regular, consistent prayer, Bible study, and discipleship.

  • Strong evidence of pastoral gifts, sensitivity to the leading of the Holy Spirit, and humility under the Word of God.

  • If married, leads his wife and children with integrity.

  • Servant leader who demonstrates godly humility derived from a deep knowledge of and dependence upon the Lord Jesus Christ.

  • Biblically and compassionately manages differences and conflicts in the church, serving as a skilled peacemaker.
