Gloria Dei Lutheran Church (ELCA) — Rochester, Minnesota
Anticipated Start: Late March
The Looking Within Center at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church is a welcoming space for those seeking deeper spiritual awareness, inner transformation, and a lived experience of the sacred. Rooted in openness, experiential learning, and interconnection, the Center offers practices such as meditation, retreats, small groups, contemplative movement, book studies, and centering prayer groups.
We invite a spiritual formation leader who feels called to help shape this evolving ministry—someone grounded in their own spiritual practice, who respects and affirms the Christian faith in its progressive, inclusive expression, and who is open to wisdom from diverse faith traditions.
As Director, you will serve as a guide and collaborator, helping create meaningful offerings that support reflection, connection, and spiritual growth. You’ll work alongside staff, volunteers, and community partners to develop programs such as retreats, contemplative gatherings, and digital resources, while nurturing a space where people feel welcomed, seen, and supported on their spiritual journeys.
We hope to welcome a leader who brings training and experience in spiritual formation or contemplative practice; is comfortable leading in a Christian context with interfaith openness; values inclusive theology; and leads with humility, curiosity, and compassion.
If this invitation resonates with you, we would love to hear your story and explore how your gifts might shape the next chapter of the Looking Within Center. Please submit your resume and cover letter to Pastor Marla Rotman rotman@gloria-dei.com.
