The Diocese of West Missouri is now accepting applications for a full-time Canon for Discipleship.
The Canon for Discipleship’s primary role is to develop a strategy for Christian education and community for all ages in the diocese. This includes assisting small and rural communities, supporting a renewal of diocesan youth, college, and young adult ministry, and developing strategies for intergenerational/mixed ecology culture, education, and worship.
Through the work of this ministry, congregations will grow in confidence as Christian communities: deepening their knowledge of Scripture, learning to think more deeply and speak more clearly about their faith, and discovering new rhythms and forms of prayer. They will also develop a stronger sense of their identity as Episcopalians, able to articulate beyond the walls of the church what it means to belong to this tradition.
A full job description can be found below. If you, or someone you know is interested, please email a cover letter and your resume to the Rev. Canon Chas Marks (transition@diowestmo.org) by April 8, 2026.
