We are a rooted, Reformed Anglican congregation in Northwest Houston, confessing the 39 Articles and the Jerusalem Declaration, and committed to the classical Christian reading of Scripture.

The Associate will assist the Rector in preaching (8–12 sermons per year), pastoral care, and the shepherding of volunteer teams. Full-time; salary commensurate with experience, plus housing and benefits stipend.

We welcome inquiries from ordained Anglican clergy, those in formation, and pastors from outside the Anglican tradition who are drawn to it.

Parish Profile and full Job Description linked within the application form.

Oak Forest Anglican Church is a member of the Anglican Communion, which encompasses 85+ million people worldwide. Anglicanism originated during the English Reformation, but its roots extend back to the early Church, creating a unique blend of multiple Christian traditions.

First and foremost, to be Anglican is to be Christian. We want to love Jesus with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and we want to love our neighbors as ourselves. Even so, the Christian faith is rooted in real history and tradition, and so Anglicanism is the particular way we live out and embody the Christian faith.
