Governance

Who runs this place?

As members we are not just consumers of the gifts of the church. We run this place. We call our own minister, we own the building, we raise the funds, we elect our officers, and we adopt the annual budget. As members, we have responsibilities that we need to take seriously. One of those responsibilities is to attend Congregational Meetings.

Congregational Meetings

At the Congregational Meeting we elects the officers of the Church as well as approve the budget. We can't do business without a quorum. Robert’s Rules of Order, Newly Revised, shall be the authority in all cases not covered in the Constitution or By-laws of UUCA. 2007 Annual Report Form
