Consulting Ministry
While the term Consulting Ministry is new, the concept of part-time ministry has been around for as long as ministry has been. By inviting a minister to be your spiritual guide and partner and to direct your congregation in its unique growth
process, you and that person are placed in a special relationship. While this may not be the same minister you will eventually call, this person plays a very important role in getting your congregation ready for your called minister.
For a detailed explanation about consulting ministry, see the TJD Website at
www.tjd.uua.org. If you are a minister interested in serving as a consulting minister, or you desire the services of one, please contact Qiyamah A. Rahman at
qrahman@uua.org
