Beginning in the summer of 2008, UUVB entered a period of transition, as we are taking time to be intentional about calling our next settled minister. In this Interim time, we are led by Interim Minister, the Rev. Dr. Maureen Killoran. (Learn more about Rev. Maureen here.)

     Research shows that there are several developmental tasks that correlate with a successful new chapter in called ministry. These six “tasks” form a framework within which our work together as interim minister and congregation will unfold.

• Coming to terms with your fellowship’s history, and acknowledging and dealing with your griefs and conflicts.



• Identifying and claiming UUFVB’s unique identity and strengths, your needs and your challenges.



• Deepening your understanding of the appropriate leadership roles of the minister, staff and lay leaders, and navigating the shifts of leadership that often accompany times of transition.



• Making appropriate use of wider resources – the Florida District, the Unitarian Universalist Association, and other, non-UU resources.



• Reaching beyond the dominant culture to include the multicultural world in social service and social justice, and



• Renewing your vision, strengthening your stewardship and doing what is necessary to be ready for new growth and new professional leadership.
