The New England Region (NER) is composed of 232 congregations. The congregations in this geographical area were previously organized into districts. As the UUA reorganized nationally into 5 Regions (New England, Southern, Central East, Mid-America, Pacific West), all former districts in New England merged into the New England Region. The mission of the New England Region UUA staff is to equip and support religious professionals and lay leaders for healthy, vibrant Unitarian Universalist ministries. We are here to listen, support, coach and consult on any aspect of congregational life, including challenges and successes in your ministries. We also connect congregational leaders to share wisdom and experiences with each other through learning opportunities and gatherings throughout the year. What's on your mind and in your heart today?

Our workshops and webinars provide ongoing training in some of the most difficult and common challenges faced by church leaders. We encourage congregations to register a team of at least four people. Our Whole Lives (OWL) Facilitator Trainings are offered throughout the year.
Spiritual Leadership is an orientation, a way of living and being in the world. It is living our deepest values guided by connection.
