The 2027 Ministerial Search

Our current minister, Peter Farriday, is an interim minister. The UUCPA Minister Search committee is leading the search for our next settled minister. We will be posting regular updates here about where we are in the Minister Search process. If you are interested in learning more about the process as a whole, please take a look at the UUA Settled Ministry Search Calendar. We are currently in Phase 3.

Congregational Survey Results Are Ready!

Thank you to the 112 people who took the Congregational Survey! We really appreciate all your valuable input! The summary of results is available here.

What is the Break Barriers, Build Beliefs (B4) Workshop?

Are you open to a great minister who has a different gender identity than you? Or a different race? Who might have a physical disability? Who is older or younger?

This UUA-facilitated workshop will explore our individual and congregational biases as we prepare for our minister search. More information coming soon; for right now, please save the date to attend: October 10, 9am-1pm.

What are Listening Circles?

In a few weeks, members and friends of UUCPA will be invited to participate in small (~10 people) facilitated conversations with the Minister Search committee to discuss our needs and hopes for our next minister. Keep on the lookout for more information about how to participate.
