Positions in the Diocese

To advance its mission of serving our mission field and assist Anglicans nationwide, the diocese is seeking clergy who have the gifts and temperament for mission. The DHT is thus both seeking to call priests to specific positions, and form the next generation of missionary priests.

Missionary Priest, Northern Colorado

The Diocese of the Holy Trinity of the Anglican Catholic Church (DHT) is seeking a missionary priest to lead our Northern Colorado mission. Currently termed the Colorado Mission Community (CoMC), the CoMC serves families between the areas of Northern Denver and Ft. Collins.

Its first gathering was in August 2022 in a Boulder member’s barn. The community has met monthly for the Eucharist, either at a member’s home or at church space rented in the city of Erie. The CoMC has prayed weekly for its mission, celebrated the liturgical seasons together, and gathered for various social events over the last three years.

The DHT is looking for a priest with pastoral and missionary gifts to develop and grow the CoMC, with full-time support from the DHT. The mission priest will work with the DHT and its Domestic Missions Community (DMC) to develop a plan for the CoMC to become a self-supporting parish over the course of several years.

The position may include occasional supply work or other collaboration with our sister church, St. Mary’s Anglican Catholic Church in Denver. Prior experience leading parish ministry and worship with the 1928 BCP or other traditional forms of Anglican liturgy are desirable.

This missionary priest will be directed by Bp. Stephen Scarlett, bishop ordinary for the DHT, and will work in close contact with the DMC. As with other missions in the DHT, the COMC is being developed according to the Remnant Mission approach to mission and ministry. This approach emphasizes spiritual formation and hospitality.

To be effective in this position, the candidate should have the following traits:

  1. Spiritual Commitment: The priest should prioritize personal prayer and spiritual growth, engaging in regular confession and meetings with a spiritual director.

  2. Love for Souls: He should have a genuine desire to share his faith by building relationships and engaging in conversations that lead to spiritual growth.

  3. Gifts-Based Ministry: He should be able cultivate the spiritual gifts of community members, encourage collaboration, and develop new mission initiatives.

  4. Perseverance: He should possess a strong sense of vocation. He must be able to endure challenges, focus on long-term goals, and pursue ongoing education and training.

As noted, the mission will be assisted by DHT’s Domestic Missions Committee. Building on the success of our recent mission, St. Thomas in Fullerton, the DMC is helping to identify committed laity remnants and assist each with operational and financial issues as each matures into an independent parish. For more info or to submit an application, please contact DMC co-chair Joel West, jwest@thedht.org
