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.


The 2027 UUCPA Minister Search Committee needs your help!

Please help us understand our congregation better by completing our Congregational Survey, opening on Thursday, September 3, 2026. This survey is the first step to help you, the search team, UUCPA leadership, and applicants for our ministry position understand our congregation better. Responses to these questions will help guide small group meeting discussions this fall, and enrich the narrative about our hopes and needs that the search team will share with ministerial applicants.

We estimate the survey will take about 15 minutes to complete. This survey is anonymous, and your responses are confidential. Your full and honest feedback will be most helpful in guiding our search. If any question makes you feel uncomfortable or too vulnerable, please skip it. Because this survey is anonymous, this survey must be completed in one session.

Please complete and submit the survey no later than Monday, September 21, 2026. A summary and analysis will be shared with the congregation. If you have survey-related questions, concerns, or accessibility needs, please contact Harry Wachob at: search-questions+survey@uucpa.org.

Thank you for taking the time to tell the minister search committee about yourself and your experience of UUCPA!
