The problem addressed by this project is the difficulty faced by a minister of a growing congregation in providing effective pastoral care and counseling when the church that she or he is serving has reached a size where the minister can no longer provide for all those needs without assistance. According to Arlin Rothauge and Alice Mann, that transition is defined by what they have called growth into a "program size" congregation, characterized by Sunday morning attendance of 150 to 400, including children and youth.

520 $a The problem addressed by this project is the difficulty faced by a minister of a growing congregation in providing effective pastoral care and counseling when the church that she or he is serving has reached a size where the minister can no longer provide for all those needs without assistance. According to Arlin Rothauge and Alice Mann, that transition is defined by what they have called growth into a "program size" congregation, characterized by Sunday morning attendance of 150 to 400, including children and youth.
520 $a Although Rothauge and Mann write a great deal about the changing structure of the "program size" congregation, they spend very little time addressing the topic of pastoral care and counseling. This project indicates specific ways in which the minister can deal with the increased need for and stress from trying to provide pastoral care and counseling in a "program size" congregation. This project argues that a shared ministry of pastoral care and counseling can best be provided through Lay Ministry, Neighborhood Networks, and Covenant Groups, in addition to the minister's pastoral counseling and his or her referrals of congregants to mental health care professionals.
520 $a This project is based in a Unitarian Universalist theology and is supported by field research in Unitarian Universalist congregations in Southern California in order to provide a practical context for the theoretical background, but the material included could certainly be adapted to serve the needs of those in other faith traditions as well. The content is also viewed through the lens of an ethical perspective so that the implementation of a shared ministry of pastoral care and counseling within a congregation can be shown to have integrity beyond its strictly pragmatic applications.
