Growing Vital Religious Communities In Canada  
 

 

 
 
REGIONAL SHARED MINISTRY TEAMS
 
 

A team of volunteers are standing by ready to consult with your congregation, design and lead workshops in a variety of topics related to congregational life. Approximately 10 workshops per year have been provided in each of the four regions (http://www.cuc.ca/programs/regions.htm)  from 2003 on.  Some sessions such as congregational leadership retreats or workshops on developing a covenant of right relations are provided to a particular congregations. Others are open to all Unitarians and UU's anywhere in Canada, but primarily planned around the needs of a cluster of congregations. Sessions vary between a half-day session to full weekend events. 

Each team meets to share information, requests and perspectives from both Service Consultants and Congregational Networkers and Liaisons to bring the best of the whole team's knowledge, experience and expertise to any consultation.

The team provides information to congregations, brings feedback and input to the team and facilitates communication among nearby congregations.

Service consultants in a particular area network with the others across Canada to facilitate sharing of resources and workshop materials.

These teams are supported by Program Staff - 2 Directors of Regional Services and the Director of Lifespan Learning.
