Welcome to the official web site for the New Orleans Association of the United Church of Christ. Here you will find more information about our churches in South Louisiana and the Mississippi Gulf Coast area that make up the association, as well as the New Orleans Association itself.
No matter who you are or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome in our churches - and on our web site!
A Sacred Trust: Boundary Training deals with issues for Clergy, Spiritual Teachers and lay people. This training includes increasing awareness of the need for healthy boundaries in the clergy-congregant or teacher student relationship; illustrating the impact of appropriate boundaries in promoting effective ministry, and providing clergy, teachers and laypeople with guidelines for developing appropriate boundaries and self-care strategies. The New Orleans Association Church and Ministry Committee has made the completion of a Boundary Training Session mandatory for an authorized minister to maintain their ministerial standing within the New Orleans Association. The date to have Boundary Training completed has been extended from one year to two years from the date of the first Boundary Training held in the Conference. This means by October 1, 2012 all persons with standing will need to have completed Boundary Training and to have the documentation of completion to the Committee.
God is good all of the time and that goodness was present with us again today as the New Orleans Association of the United Church of Christ granted the privilege of Licensed Minister to Good Shepherd’s Randy Graf.
