Lead Eucharist Church into Its Next Chapter of Ancient-Future Witness in San Francisco

 

Are you a priest who…

  • Hungers to shepherd a deeply thoughtful and sacramentally-rooted urban church?
  • Believes the riches of the Great Tradition are essential for forming resilient disciples in a post-Christian world?
  • Has the imagination to lead a liturgical community with monastic inspiration into mission and growth?

If so, Eucharist Church may be where your vocation and vision converge.

 

The Opportunity

Eucharist Church is seeking a Rector to lead us into our next chapter of spiritual depth, pastoral care, and regional impact. Our parish was founded in 2016 in San Francisco with a bold vision: to be a community formed by the three streams of Sacrament, Scripture, and Spirit, deeply grounded in the Great Tradition, and living all of life in reference to Christ.

In a city defined by complexity and transience, we are planting roots. We believe our witness must be beautiful, theologically rich, pastorally wise, and radically hospitable. We are looking for a priest who is not only grounded in Anglican liturgy and biblical orthodoxy but also energized by San Francisco’s unique mission field and excited about the possibilities ahead.

This is a chance to lead a healthy, well-resourced, spiritually hungry community into a fresh season of depth, growth, and renewed formation.

 

About Eucharist Church

We are a parish in the Diocese of Churches for the Sake of Others (C4SO) in the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA). With a weekly attendance of 125, we are small but vibrant. Our congregation includes a broad diversity of ages, vocations, and backgrounds, including many young families and professionals.

Our distinctives include:

  • Ancient-Future Worship: Liturgically rich with “smells and bells”, and musically diverse.
  • Monastic-Inspired Spirituality: Rhythms of prayer and intentional formation.
  • Catechetical Depth: Interactive and robust Christian education.
  • Hospitality & Generosity: Deep relational life and community care.

 

Your Role as Rector

You will serve as the spiritual, pastoral, and organizational leader of the parish, in partnership with a committed vestry and talented staff team.

 

Key Responsibilities:

  • Preach and teach with biblical clarity, theological depth, and pastoral warmth
  • Shepherd a diverse congregation with humility and compassion
  • Cultivate a Benedictine-inspired spiritual life among the people
  • Shape a robust vision of discipleship and catechesis for all ages
  • Lead collaboratively with staff and vestry toward strategic growth and outreach
  • Represent Eucharist within the ACNA and local community with wisdom and grace

 

Who We’re Looking For

A priest who…

  • Holds an MDiv or equivalent and has previous ordained Anglican ministry experience
  • Lives from a sacramental imagination and a deeply Christ-centered faith
  • Is rooted in historic orthodoxy and articulates a traditional, biblical view of Christian sexuality with grace and clarity
  • Is emotionally grounded with a warm, pastoral presence and non-anxious leadership style
  • Loves the city and can navigate its post-Christian complexity with wisdom
  • Embodies humility, curiosity, joy, and a collaborative spirit
  • Views “High Church” liturgy as laden with missional opportunity

 

What We Offer

  • A thriving church community with strong lay engagement and spiritual hunger
  • A talented and diverse staff culture with experienced leadership
  • Competitive compensation commensurate with the San Francisco cost of living
    • Salary Range: $135-175,000
    • Health insurance
    • Retirement contribution
    • Reimbursable expenses
  • A vibrant faith community in one of the most unique mission fields in the world
