Dear People of the Diocese of Olympia,

We are pleased to announce that we received an impressive number of qualified applicants in response to our profile!  

The Bishop Search Committee members are now preparing for the next phase of the search process… the Zoom interviews. Applicants being moved forward following the first round of screening will each participate in a Zoom interview. We anticipate the interviews to begin soon and continue over the next month.

The Committee appreciates your ongoing prayers as we continue through the search process. Join us in thanking and praising God for all of the applicants who felt a calling to apply to be our next bishop. We ask you to pray for our applicants and for the members of the Search Committee as we seek God’s will, guidance, and wisdom in our conversations, discernment, and decisions.

The exciting journey towards our new bishop continues!

Blessings,

The Bishop Search Committee
