Part-time Ministry Report
Since its inception in May 2018, the Association of United Church Clergy (aUCC) has heard a range of concerns that continue to grow in number and scope regarding part-time ministry. We have now completed a report looking into the trials and possibilities associated with this ever-increasing trend.

54% of all vacancies are part-time resulting in increasing concern for clergy about their employment and financial security
Alternative Models

Part-time Possibilities
Revisioning of part-time ministry could mean something other than “full time ministry lite.”
