Holy Faith is a federated church belonging to both the Episcopal Church and Evangelical Lutheran Church of America. Our congregation practices the full welcome, inclusion and equity for LGBTQIA+ persons in all aspects of the life of their Church, congregations, and community. Since its beginnings, our congregation has placed high value on outreach ministry. Recently, Holy Faith has articulated a particular commitment to responding to community hunger. And more broadly, the parish is interested in expanding its outreach ministry to provide direct services to those on the margins so that our congregation might help society better reflect the Kingdom of God. The successful candidate will understand outreach as one of the ways we come to know God.
