Thank you!


Thank you to everyone who participated in Rector Search Open Forums and who took the online survey! We had over 200 responses to the online survey and approximately 60 people attended one of our open forum sessions. We are extremely grateful that so many of you took part in this process, your input will be crucial as we begin to move to the next phase of the search process.

During our meeting on July 8th, we went over in detail the results of the survey and the open forums. You will notice on Sunday that all of the comments from the five open forum sessions will be posted up in the Parish Hall so that everyone can see what was talked about at these forums. These will be up for a few weeks so stop on by the Parish Hall before or after our services on Sunday! In the coming weeks we will also make available the results of the online survey to the entire parish.

 As we near the end of the Self-Study phase of the search process our focus now is on completing the parish profile. The parish profile describes our history, personality, mission, and ministry, it highlights our uniqueness as well as outlines the passions and gifts that we seek in our next rector. Once the parish profile is completed it will be posted on the Christ Church website and the Diocesan website.

As we continue our work if you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to speak to one of us or email us at search@christchurchandover.org. Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we move forward in our search.
