The final week of the course on Polity will culminate with a Zoom wrap-up session. In order to demonstrate your understanding of the learning outcomes, you are required to submit a final written project. This project should integrate your personal faith journey with the Marks of Faithful and Effective Ministers in the United Church of Christ.

The written project should address various topics related to the UCC, such as:

• UCC doctrinal beliefs
• Diverse traditions within the UCC
• Lay and ordained ministries
• Church and sacraments
• And more, see the complete list

Once you have submitted your final wriiten paper, you will be scheduled for an one-on-one session to receive feedback on the paper and prepare it to present to the committee on church and ministry or congregation.
