Search Team holds Town Hall Meetings

On Sunday, Jan. 20 and Tuesday, Jan. 22 the Search Team hosted Town Hall Meetings open to all UCD Members, regular attendees, and staff. These meetings were designed to provide updates on the search process, but most importantly to collect characteristics and attributes that individuals wanted to see in their new Senior Minister.

If you haven’t yet given us your opinions on a new Senior Minister, please email us at search@unitydallas.org.
