In compliance with our bylaws and in a continuing effort for intentionality and shared ministry, the Governing Circle is working on convening a Circle on Shared Ministry. This body will consist of 3–5 congregational members, appointed by the Governing Circle and incoming or current minister. Circle members will serve staggered 2-year terms. See below the job description of circle members.

Members of the Circle on Shared Ministry will:

• Evaluate ministries of the congregation.
• Evaluate ministerial staff.
• Make recommendations to Governing Circle and other church circles on how to better fulfill the larger Mission and Vision from a ministerial perspective.
• Liaise with ministerial staff to problem solve and mediate when needed.
• Advocate for ministerial staff and programs of the congregation.

If you are interested in serving on the Circle on Shared Ministry or have any comments or questions, please email the Governing Circle at gc@inuuc.org. Please note that the final circle membership selection will be the responsibility of the Governing Circle and minister.

Warm Regards,
Libby Fitzgerald
The INUUC Governing Circle
