Employment and Transitional Services

During leadership changes, Member Services works with our member ministries and member ministers to create grace, ease and intentionality. To see an overview of how we can help ministers and ministries in times of transition, see our Employment and Transitional Services brochure.

Open ministries are listed below.

Leaving Gracefully

Transitions can be difficult for both ministers and the members of a spiritual community. We invite you to connect with Member Services for information and guidance on leaving gracefully. Contact Carrie Kenyon for more information on the following services.

Transitional Consulting Services

The period between ministers may bring a period of uncertainty. UWM certified consultants guide you through an intentional process to explore where you have been as a community and where you want to go in the future. See how Transitional Consulting Services can help your ministry.

Minister Succession Process

An alternative to Transitional Consulting, a minister succession process works best in larger ministries and ministries where the minister gives notice well in advance of their departure. This process includes the outgoing minister in preparing for a change of leadership. Member Services can assist in developing a succession plan, often including processes facilitated by one of our consultants.

Employment Services

It is important that ministers and ministries use our employment services to ensure that credentials are current and both parties are eligible for employment (see a list of suspended Unity ministers). We support member ministers and member ministries through all phases of the employment process. This includes:

Creating and reviewing resumes
Completing search vacancy packet, creating search team
Preparation and evaluation of interviews
Negotiating contracts (You may wish to review our Minister's Contract Considerations.)
Starting your new adventure together.

Sabbaticals

Our Sabbatical Support Services provide information on minister sabbaticals.

Reciprocal Employment Policy for CSL Ministers

As spiritual movements which both originated with New Thought, Unity and CSL have similar theologies, practices and a shared desire to awaken and transform human consciousness. In view of this, we are committed to finding ways to collaborate with one another, including a new reciprocal employment policy which allows CSL ministers to serve in Unity ministries, and Unity ministers to serve in CSL ministries. Please note that this is a reciprocal employment policy. It is not a path to a Unity ordination, but honors an individual’s ordination through CSL. There are three simple steps for a CSL minister to serve in a Unity ministry:

1. CSL provides us with document indicated the CSL Minister is in good standing.

2. CSL Minister takes the following classes through Unity Worldwide Spiritual Institute:

a. HTS 100: Foundations of Unity

b. HTS 140: History of New Thought and Unity

3. CSL Minister utilizes UWM’s employment processes to seek employment

CSL Ministers serving our ministries under this policy, are eligible to perform all ministerial functions. They are welcome to teach classes, but students will not be able to earn SEE credit for these classes. CSL Ministers do not meet the requirements for UWM membership, and therefore, do not have a vote on the convention floor – unless they are serving as a delegate from the ministry they are serving.

For more information, contact Rev. Cynthia Vermillion-Foster or Rev. Carrie Kenyon.

Non-Ministerial Jobs

We also post non-ministerial Jobs (for example executive directors, music directors or youth directors) upon request.
