After numerous conversations with the congregation, Rev. Linda, and the board, the Developmental Minister Search Committee has come up with a draft of the final goals for our Developmental Ministry. These goals will be a part of our application for our Developmental Minister which we will submit to the UUA Transitions office in December. We hope to hire a Developmental Minister to start August 1, 2022.
The board and the committee will host Congregational Listening Circles on Tuesday, December 14 from 6:30 to 7:30 and on Sunday, December 19 from 1:00 to 2:00. Please feel free to email our board president, Pam McIntire, at president@uucharlottesville.org if you have any questions.

Here is the current draft of the Goals for Developmental Ministry:
1. We want to be a more welcoming and inclusive congregation. We want to become more relevant in the diverse Charlottesville and UVA communities, be a more anti-racist congregation, strengthen our commitment to young adults and nurture new leadership.
2. We want to unite in supporting a broad shared vision of our purpose for being a congregation. We believe that a broad shared vision will empower us to see each mission as part of a whole purpose so we can feel energized, dedicated, and aligned in the use of our resources.
3. We want to strengthen our Stewardship Ministry. We want to continue our work toward passionate support of our mission with time, wisdom, and finances.
4. We want to strengthen our internal processes, build trust, and develop the skills to communicate broadly. We want to become more emotionally and operationally functional than we have been historically.
