Transition Ministry

Thank you for visiting the Diocese of New Jersey’s Transition Ministry Resource page. Whether you are clergy discerning a new call, a congregation in transition, newly ordained, or new to the Diocese, we hope that you will find the information you are seeking.

If you are interested in submitting your name for consideration or interested in further conversation about any congregations that are receiving names, please send your OTM profile, Resume, completed Questionnaire for Clergy, and letter of interest addressed to the congregation to Bishop French’s office at the email below.

Please note that at this time, the Diocese of NJ is not open to receiving unsolicited applications from outside The Episcopal Church unless you have a religious work visa. The ability to work in the Diocese of NJ is a current requirement for application.

The Rev. Canon Joan Mason
Transition Ministry Officer
