ICS is seeking a Rector/Pastor to lead and strengthen a multinational congregation in Rio.
Rio de Janeiro is a distinctive and vibrant city, renowned for its rich culture and exceptional natural beauty. In recent years, the congregation of Christ Church Rio has grown both in size and diversity and we are eager to build on this strong and encouraging momentum.
Within this context, we are seeking an energetic, experienced, and spiritually mature ordained Anglican Pastor who senses a clear calling to lead this long-established English speaking church.
The ability to learn and speak conversational Portuguese will be essential for effective integration into the community and for cultivating strong relationships with the congregation and local churches.
The position includes a stipend, home leave, church-provided accommodation, health insurance, and reimbursement of ministry-related expenses. Where applicable, support for education at an English-speaking school is available for dependent children. The church will serve as the employer.
