Adv. Boundary - Faithfully Fulfilling Covenant Beyond the Local Church

Facilitator: Rev. William Worley

“Faithfully Fulfilling Covenant Beyond the Local Church.” Boundaries are not just behaviors lines that we don't cross, they also mark areas included in our practice of ministry. In this boundary training workshop, we look at what it means to minister in a system that prizes autonomy with expectations like “actively participates in the Covenantal Life and Work of all Settings of the United Church of Christ.” This, with other sections of “COVENANT WITH THE UCC TO” from UCC Ordained Ministerial Code, invite us into conversation about what it means to be the wider church and how that impacts the role and function of the local church pastor.
