Who's Hiring
What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in priest jobs.
- Canonical ordination within a recognized ecclesial tradition or denomination

- Demonstrated pastoral counseling and congregational care skills

Tips for Your Priest Job Search
Tailor your resume to each denomination
Catholic parishes, Episcopal congregations, and nondenominational churches each weigh different credentials and language. Reflect the specific tradition's terminology, whether that's 'rector,' 'parochial vicar,' or 'lead pastor,' so hiring committees recognize you as a fit.
List your ordination and faculties clearly
Hiring committees need to verify your canonical standing before moving forward. Name your ordaining bishop or body, the date of ordination, and any active faculties or endorsements on the first page of your resume, not buried in an appendix.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists priest openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Request references from your pastoral supervisor
Most search committees contact references before scheduling interviews, not after. Line up a bishop, vicar general, or denominational supervisor who can speak to your sacramental performance and congregational leadership before you submit a single application.
Prepare a preaching sample before the first call
Many parishes ask for a recorded or live homily at the first or second interview stage, not at the end of the process. Have a ten-to-fifteen-minute sermon ready that reflects your theological voice and is appropriate for a mixed, unfamiliar congregation.
Ask specific questions about parish health in interviews
Questions about average Sunday attendance trends, staff turnover, and financial reserves signal serious pastoral intent and reveal real conditions. Committees remember candidates who ask concrete operational questions, and you get information that protects you from a difficult placement.
Priest Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most priests?
Terros, Starbucks, and Les Schwab Tire Centers are hiring the most priests right now, with openings concentrated in Arizona, Idaho, and Tennessee, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Dioceses and multi-site parish networks tend to post the highest volume of openings at any given time.
How many priest jobs are remote?
About 0% of priest openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting that most parish roles require an on-site sacramental and pastoral presence. The sub-areas most likely to offer remote or hybrid arrangements include hospital and military chaplaincy administration, online campus ministry, and denominational headquarters roles that carry a priestly title.
How do you become a priest?
The path depends on your tradition. In the Catholic Church, candidates complete a multi-year seminary program leading to a Master of Divinity, then are ordained as a deacon before priestly ordination by a bishop. Episcopal and Anglican candidates follow a similar formation process through a diocese. Nondenominational and evangelical traditions vary widely but typically require theological education, a period of mentored ministry, and affirmation by a local church body or credentialing organization.
How do you get hired as a priest with little experience?
Most entry-level parish positions are listed as associate pastor, parochial vicar, or assistant priest roles that are explicitly designed for newly ordained clergy. Focus your applications on parishes large enough to support a staff team, since they are more likely to hire someone early in ministry and pair them with a senior pastor. Reaching out directly to your diocese or denominational placement office often surfaces openings before they are publicly posted.
What does the priest interview process look like?
Most parish searches begin with a written application and submission of a ministry profile or personal statement. A search committee or vestry then conducts an initial screening call, followed by a formal in-person interview that often includes a preaching opportunity during a Sunday service. Finalists may meet with the congregation at a town hall before the bishop or denominational authority gives final approval. The full process can extend over several months.
Where can I find and apply to priest jobs?
You can find and apply to priest jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search for roles that match your tradition, experience level, and location, then apply directly to each listing that fits.
