Top Picks for Ministerial Fellowship
Hello! I am Rev. Jory Agate, the Unitarian Universalist Association's Professional Development Director. A large part of my work is helping ministers in Preliminary Fellowship meet the credentialing requirements for Final Fellowship. I provide staff support to the Ministerial Fellowship Committee (MFC) and give advice regarding MFC rule waiver requests, changes in fellowship status, and preparation of materials for applications for renewal of fellowship.
Marion Bell is the Ministerial Fellowship Committee Coordinator. Marion can answer your questions regarding renewal applications, waivers and appropriate forms and deadlines for ministers in Preliminary Fellowship.
Below you will find links to some of the most frequently requested materials from our office.
I look forward to hearing from you!
