Update on the work of the Search Committee for the Associate Executive of the Synod of the Covenant for Racial Justice. The committee has begun interviews for this position and is so pleased with the pool of candidates that the time has come to discontinue acceptance of new applications. The committee anticipates completing the first round of interviews by the first week in February.
We are no longer accepting applications. Thank you for your interest.
The Synod is excited to open our search for a full-time Associate Executive for Racial Justice. We find ourselves in the midst of a creative, regenerative and exciting time, in which we seek to meet old and new challenges with a sense of holy imagination, collaboration and the hope of the resurrection promise. One of the opportunities before us is to build on a legacy of centering the concerns and the witness of communities of color (a spirit in which our Synod was founded many decades ago). Our intention is to reinstate and expand a network of connection supporting our communities of color, also referred to as racial ethnic congregations in our denomination, building power among them for the work of the Gospel; and to invite others into justice-seeking and community-renewing intercultural relationships across the Synod. We seek a competent, creative and faithful individual to lead this work.
This position will help us live into our vision for 2025-28: “In our Synod, we’ll try anything to equip leaders who are attending to God’s creative, emerging future.” It will also strengthen our work toward our Ministry Focus Areas:
Supporting and Equipping Leadership for the Church
Strengthening Our Most Vulnerable Congregations
Developing Anti-Racist Practices and Structures
Eradicating Systemic Poverty
Connecting Synods, Presbyteries, Churches, and Leaders
