Pastoral Leadership

Rev. Sky Kershner is the Pastoral Leader of UKV. As Pastoral Leader, Sky provides certain specific functions as part of the overall care offered to UKV members and attenders. This includes speaking regularly at Sunday Services, helping the board leadership with planning, and implimenting their vision for UKV, and helping with education needs of UKV.

Sky's functions also include:

  •  Lunch meetings
    • Sky has weekly lunch meetings with UKV member-attenders. Usually these involve planning and visioning agenda, and are often with UKV leadership. Sky also likes to have lunch with new members of UKV, and with those considering membership. Lunch meetings are usually on a Monday in Charleston. Please call Sky if you would like to meet for lunch, his number is 346-9689.
       
  •  Life Coaching, Spiritual Coaching
    • At the member's request, Sky is willing to meet once a year with any member/attender of UKV in his office at the Kanawha Pastoral Counseling Center for the purpose of Life Coaching.
    • Life Coaching is designed to help you develop a vision of who you want to be, to clarify and energize your dreams and goals, and to develop a way to achieve your goals. Problem solving a particular situation is also a part of this. Sky uses an appreciative, positive, and energizing approach in his coaching.
    • Additional Life Coaching sessions are available with Sky at KPCC for the UKV reduced rate of $80 per hour (compared to the usual fee of $135 per hour).
    • Though a licensed and credentialed counselor and family therapist, Sky does not do counseling or therapy with UKV members. If these services would be helpful, Sky will help make a good referral to a competent counselor.
       
  •  Special Services
    • Sky is available to perform weddings, unions, funerals, memorial services, baptisms, commitment services, and to facilitate unique rituals or services by request on an as needed basis. There is usually no charge for UKV members or attenders, though a gift made to UKV would be appreciated. For more information on Special Services, click here.
       
  •  Emergencies
    • Sky is available for hospital or emergency home visits to UKV members or attenders on an as needed basis.
