MinistrySearch Website
Manage your ministerial record, review posted congregational records, and indicate interest in an open search.
The UUA’s ministry search process is open to UU ministers in Fellowship with the UUA.
All ministers in search are required to follow the professional guidelines of the UU Ministers Association.
Using the MinistrySearch System
As you prepare for search, you will create or update your ministerial record (MR, also known as a search profile) in the MinistrySearch system. You will submit that record to ministry search teams after reading their search profiles and indicating your interest.
Please click on the “Stay informed” button in your ministerial record to receive updates on kinds of search in each search cycle. You may also sign up for the UUA Transitions Team newsletter to receive general search updates.
