Officially Open for Senior Minster Applicants

At 12:11pm on Monday, February 11th, the Search Team delivered the electronic version of the Minister Employment Packet to the Association of Unity Churches (AUC). This 18 page document, plus attachments, includes everything a potential candidate will need to consider us, such as information about staff, attendance, financials, ministries, goals, location, and most importantly what specifically we are looking for in our next Senior Minister. This is a very comprehensive Packet.

Shortly after delivering the Packet, we received the following message back from the AUC:

What an awesome job! Articulate, warm, detailed, fully aligned with Unity principles... you all are to be commended for your commitment to excellence and Spirit. I know that Unity Church of Dallas is being true to its sacred Journey, and you will draw a leader of integrity and like vision to your team. Blessings of joy and wisdom on this adventure you have undertaken.
Hard copy versions of this Packet have been mailed to the AUC and they will be posting the Job Opening on their website and will be making announcements to all Unity ministers.

We expect to start receiving inquiries and applications later this month.
