Current Parish & Institutional Opportunities

The Episcopal Parishes of St. Joseph the Carpenter in Sevierville and Trinity in Gatlinburg seek a Priest-in-Charge to join us on an exciting journey of collaboration in ministry!

Located in beautiful Sevier County (home of Dollywood!) and nestled in the Great Smoky Mountains, our two small parishes have recently discerned a way to maximize our impact by calling a shared priest to serve alongside us as we minister in our communities. Sevier County is full of visitors and of newcomers, and we are ready to welcome these folks to our loving and caring parishes.

We are excited for our shared full-time Priest in Charge to lead us in liturgies, offer formation opportunities, and help us grow in faith. Since we are only 15 miles apart, we imagine plenty of opportunity for cooperation and fellowship among each other as our priest spends time with us in each location.

We seek a Priest who:

• Loves God and neighbor
• Shares the same “can-do” spirit that East Tennessee is famous for
• Has an entrepreneurial spirit that will match this brand new opportunity
• Is an inspiring preacher and teacher

Application Process Description: 

If you feel that you may be called to serve as jointly appointed Priest-in-Charge of Trinity and St. Joseph, please submit a letter of interest, along with your resume or CV, a copy of your OTM portfolio, and recordings of two recent sermons to the Rev. Canon Joe Woodfin, jwoodfin@dioet.org.
