Unitarian Universalist
Digital Ministry Academy
with Peter Bowden

Welcome!  I'm Peter Bowden.  I launched Digital Ministry Academy to offer ongoing strategy and skill training for our leaders across six primary areas:

  • Worship Design
  • Social Media Strategy
  • Video Message Strategy
  • Membership Development
  • Small Group Ministry
  • Online Event Design

Enrollment is presently closed while I work on producing new on-demand courses and live online workshops for the Fall.  This is part of my ongoing experimentation with different training models and approaches.  

In response to leader burnout, I'm offering training and support via a number of formats this Fall.  See below for an overview.

My Background

Raised a Unitarian Universalist,  I volunteered across all areas of congregational life. This includes teaching classes for children, advising our youth group for a decade, growing our young adult group, and committees upon committees! 

My success using group-based ministry with youth, young adults, and adults led me to co-found the UU Small Group Ministry Network.  This nonprofit popularized the small group models used in our congregations nationally.

My passion for helping people connect through small groups led to training congregations on growth, outreach, welcoming, hospitality,  and membership development.

All of that was PRE-SOCIAL MEDIA.  Yes, I'm dating myself.... 

In 2007, after years of considering entering seminary, I decided to study digital media instead of becoming a parish minister. 

I wanted to help Unitarian Universalists harness the power of digital media, social media, and other communication tools! 

Ever since I've been helping leaders integrate online video, social media, and digital strategy into their work and ministry.
