This paper researched the impact of clergy gathering sacramentally for peer support and clergy development as a means of increasing effectiveness and reducing isolation. Sacramental groups comprised of clergy from various education and ordination levels were developed to build community using a Eucharistic ritual template to improve clergy effectiveness and wholeness, increase connectionalism, reduce clergy isolation, and offer support needed to effectively minister to the changing communities within the district. Clergy gathered monthly around a meal, celebrated Holy Communion, and the sharing of ideas and best practices. The analysis of self assessments, supervisory evaluations, interviews, and observations, clergy effectiveness showed some improvement and the factors measuring isolation was greatly reduced.
