Our Search for a Rector (clergy)
and our Interim Period (time between Rectors)
The Parish Profile
The profile is our statement of who we are and how we envision our future path and growth. The profile was adopted and approved by the Vestry on Dec 16, 2009, and approved by the Diocese. The profile is the basic document that is published through the National Church Deployment Office to attract potential rector candidate responses.

The Parish Survey
Thank you to all 130 who completed the Parish Survey in October 2009. For the survey results, click here.
St. James will go through a self-study Interim period.
In January, 2010, the Parish Profile was printed. It is on its way to the Church Deployment Office. To see it, click on the link above. The official CDO form was approved by the vestry and is at the National Church's Deployment Office. The Diocesan office has indicated the Search Committee may have candidates to review as early as mid- March. Click here to learn more...
In December 2009, the vestry approved the Parish Profile. This is the document which will be sent to Rector candidates.
In November 2009, several focus groups were held to discuss the survey results and to allow people another chance to add input.
In October 2009, all over the age of 16 were encouraged to complete a parish survey; 130 completed the survey. The survey was analyzed by an external consulting firm (Holy Cow!) and are being discussed by members of the search committee.
The search committee is chaired by Randy Wilson. Other members are Karen Anderson, Mike Baldwin, Libby Beardsall, Colleen Campbell, Pat Evans, Chris Fox, Ken Iles, Blair Jones, Sandra Love, Barbara McKnight, Barbara Swetman, Emily Vicks, Jean Vicks and Matt Weber.
The Vestry and leadership groups are ready to lead this parish forward and is committed to keeping our momentum strong in worship, outreach and parish life. We will need to pull together and serve in some new ways during this time of transition. When you're asked to serve, please say "yes, I will!" "For we are many parts of the Body."

The Rev. Jenny Montgomery, our Rector for seven years, continues her call to serve God at the parish of St. Andrew's in Arlington,Virginia.
We fondly recall the time that we shared together. To see pictures of our May celebration, click here. We look forward to all that God is doing, and will do through us at St. James Church during this Interim period.
