Take the Training

This training includes many resources for small congregations that typically come out of our annual Small Congregation Month each March.

The history of this collection started in 2020 when the Small Congregations Task Force hosted a series of webinars leading up to synchronized conferences across the country for smaller congregations on March 14 (hence the reference to pie). There was going to be a theme of pie for everyone and lots of connecting. And…then pandemic happened, cancelling the live gatherings.

Each year since there has been an annual webinar series or a single gathering each March since and the resources are added to this collection after their conclusion.

This event is presented by the Small Congregations Task Force of the Congregational Life Staff Group of the UUA.

Training fee: $15 per participant
