A prayer for our new Rector:

Almighty God, who knows our needs even before we ask, grant us peace and a spirit of faith, that we may have the wisdom and courage to meet the days to come with steadfast hope and patience; look graciously upon our beloved All Saints’, and send forth your Holy Spirit to guide the search committee, the vestry, and our parish family to be of one heart and one mind, that we may seek and receive a faithful pastor to care for your people and equip us for our ministries.

All Saints Family,

The vestry is excited to share that we have completed the first major step in the calling of our next rector. Following meetings with the Canon to the Ordinary and prayerful consideration of many wonderful people suggested by vestry members and parishioners, the vestry is excited to announce the Search Committee for our next rector!

Under the current guidelines for the rector search process, the Search Committee will be tasked with listening to the parish, creating the parish profile, considering candidates, and making a recommendation to the vestry.

The Search Committee will soon begin seeking input from the parish to prepare a parish profile for rector candidates. Your participation is crucial, so please keep an eye out for information about completing a survey and attending listening sessions. We are committed to keeping you informed throughout this process. Please keep the committee in your prayers as they plan, work, and discern who God is calling to be the new Rector for All Saints.

The Search Committee will be commissioned at the 11:00 am service on Sunday, March 1^st. Please join us!

Faithfully,

Alexa McElroy and Drew Hataway

We recently received the results of the Congregational Assessment Tool (CAT) survey from Holy Cow! who administered the survey for All Saints. Please find a copy of the Executive Summary at the button below. Should anyone have questions or comments regarding the summary, they can contact the committee at rectorsearch@allsaintsbhm.org.

Rector Search Committee Update

The Rector Search Committee continues to make steady progress in our search for the next rector of All Saints. We are currently interviewing candidates and spending considerable time together as a committee thoughtfully considering each candidate’s experience, gifts, leadership style, and vision for ministry.

We have been encouraged by the quality of the candidates we are meeting and by the search process as a whole. We are grateful for the strong response to our search and for the opportunity to meet with individuals who bring a variety of experiences and perspectives to the ministry of the church.

As a committee, we are approaching this process with prayer, care, and intentionality. We recognize the importance of finding the right person to lead All Saints into its next chapter, and we are committed to giving this discernment the time and attention it deserves.

Thank you for your continued prayers and support of the Search Committee and this important process. We look forward to keeping the parish informed as we move forward and will share additional updates as the search progresses.

Rector Search Committee Update

Dear All Saints Family,

The Rector Search Committee is pleased to report continued progress in its work to call the next rector of All Saints. We have been meeting regularly for both interviews and time for discussion and reflection, always considering the priorities laid out for us after our spring 2026 parish survey and listening sessions with you. We have recently met to narrow the field of candidates and plan next steps. Our gratitude for the high quality of candidates and their willingness to engage deeply with us must be expressed, as we are committed to identifying the right person to lead our beloved parish into the future. While we are moving with deliberate speed, we are acutely aware that this discernment process requires care and reflection, and we appreciate your prayers and support.

As a committee, we commit to you that we will continue to keep you informed as we move forward. Thank you for all you have done to support us in this critical time. We are grateful.

With gratitude,

The Rector Search Committee
