The Prayer chaplains have written an affirmative prayer for the transition process.
We hold a vision of a smooth, grace-filled and peaceful ministry transition process;
embracing our differences as we expand our consciousness of oneness and love.
Throughout this process, informed by our divine nature, we co-create joy-filled, loving
and expansive growth experiences.

Unity Worldwide Ministries (UWWM) has developed a systematic approach to assist ministries in transition move smoothly through the process. It generally takes 6 months to a year for a ministry to complete this process. UWWM has created a brochure that summarizes this system.

Phase One

- After our "HOPCOF" conference, the board and key leaders will be sifting through the information gathered and will set up community meetings to discuss possible action items.
- A key element in this is a community-wide heart agreement called, "Agreeing and Disagreeing
- in Love". Click here for a copy
