  • Collaborative- A team-oriented leader who values a shared ministry, works well with staff and lay leaders and encourages the gifts of all members.
  • Bridge Builder- Someone who fosters unity, embraces diversity and nurtures reconciliation and understanding within the congregation and the wider community.
  • Emotionally Intelligent- A compassionate and self-aware individual who listens well, communicates clearly and responds to challenges with wisdom and empathy.

As you consider whether St Peter’s is a fit for you, please consider the following:

  • What changes would you encourage us to make to attract families with children and youth to the church?
  • How would you lead us through necessary changes that would create more opportunities for people to form meaningful relationships within the congregation?
  • How would you partner with us to strengthen the response of the church in serving people in times of need? (spiritual, physical, mental, etc)
  • How would you work in partnership with us to expand outreach ministries that provide services to those living on the margins of society? (homeless, immigrant, transient people)
