Church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields
Philadelphia, PA

About St. Martin’s
The Church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields is a large parish in the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania. Founded in 1889 in the Chestnut Hill neighborhood of Philadelphia, the parish is a vibrant, growing, and increasingly diverse congregation drawn not just from the immediate vicinity but also from many parts of the city, region and from all walks of life. St. Martin’s mission is to welcome all seekers; to worship God in liturgy, music, and prayer; to equip all baptized persons for ministry; and to engage as agents of Christ’s love in the world.

The Holy Eucharist is the heart of the parish. From that heart in the life of Jesus emerge dozens of evolving opportunities for ministry through worship, pastoral care, music, the arts, education, and faith formation for both parishioners and the wider community and city. The parish’s aspirational values are: to be a congregation actively involved in community engagement and work for social justice; to be a place of unconditional welcome and inclusion; to call forth the gifts of its entire people; and to become a racism-free and diverse community that reflects the city in which we exist.

Since last May 2022, the parish has been involved in a period of transition following the departures of its former Rector, Associate Rector, and most recently its Minister to Children, Youth, and Families, who departed in mid-July to enter seminary as a Postulant for Holy Orders.

During the transition, with the experienced leadership of our Interim Rector and the active engagement of our Wardens and Vestry, we continue to experience a call to grow in our capacity for ministry. We are looking for a full-time Director of Children, Youth, and Family Ministries who will work collaboratively with the Interim Rector, staff, a newly-formed and very active Parents’ Advisory Council, and with the wide support of lay leaders and members across the entire community. The Director will support, and in some cases, reimagine and re-establish a range of sustainable ministries and programs for children and youth of all ages. The Director will guide this process of creative growth.

About the Opportunity
The Director of Children, Youth, and Family Ministries is an essential role at St. Martin’s, actively involved with clergy, families, parishioners, visitors, and church staff in building a shared vision and implementing a range of faith formation programs that is hopeful, engaging, inclusive and expansive, reflecting and living out the parish’s values.
