Unitarian
Universalist Consulting Services
What I
do
IN BRIEF
I am a lifelong Unitarian Universalist and am a professional UU consultant,
trainer and guest speaker. I work with Unitarian Universalist and other
liberal congregations on growth and ministry development. This inlcudes
leadership development, shared ministry & small group ministry, strategic
planning, UU evangelism, marketing and other aspects of congregational
life.
In
the Spring of 2005 I launched a new UU resource and consulting
center, UU PLANET Ministry &
Media. It is the home for my UU consulting, training and resources.

A
note on Small Group Ministry
Most people
know me through my work with Small Group Ministry. I believe that small
group ministry is one of the keys to the long term health of our faith.
We have only started to tap the potential of this ministry. When we get
closer to maximizing it as a model for empowering our members and structuring
our leadership development and pastoral care we won't think of it as small
group ministry anymore - it will be how we do church.
I learned
about this form of ministry on my way to seminary. In an attempt
to support what was then new to UU's I started the website www.smallgroupministry.net
as a resource clearinghouse. In 2004 I founded the UU Small Group
Ministry Network with Calvin Dame and Mellen Kennedy. Today this
organization is a UUA affiliate and is doing some great work.
I presently am serving as one of its coordinators.
