UUS members may now access the Ministerial Search Committee’s Self-Study Report, which includes data from the Congregational Survey, Cottage Meetings, and Focus Groups conducted by the MSC as part of the 2019-2020 search for a Settled Minister. Analysis of the data is discussed alongside charts, photos and quotes to present an accurate, reflective narrative of our beloved society. We also provide prospective ministers with various highlights of the Iowa City/Coralville area.
