Responsibilities of Membership

Attending church regularly

Communal worship is extremely important to the life of our church. Regular Sunday attendance will help you feel connected to the spiritual heart of the church

Working on your own spiritual development

We believe that each of us is capable of discovering religious truth as it is revealed to us in our lives and within our church community. We each take responsibility for our own spiritual well being with the support of the church.

Serving the church

Use your gifts and interests to serve. The church community needs hands as well as hearts and minds. That means weeding and cleaning-up are needed the same as singing and teaching. As a member, you need to attend bi-annual congregational meetings. Business cannot take place without a quorum.

Pledging at a stewardship level

The financial support of our church comes primarily from the generosity of our members. Our congregation pays directly for staff salaries and benefits, building maintenance and renovation, and program expenses. Members are encouraged to give 5% of their income to the church. This may mean making a plan to reach that goal over time. You are asked to make a written financial commitment (annual pledge). This helps the church do financial planning for the year.

Serving others

We commit our faith to action and show through our works what we say with our mouths. Although the church provides opportunities for social action, many places exist in each of our lives where such acts can take place. Acts of caring are an essential part of belonging to a faith community.

Connecting to the wider UU movement.

We encourage you to become involved at deeper levels in the Unitarian Universalist movement. As a member you will receive the UU World magazine.

Honoring and celebrating the diversity

Our church community seeks and celebrates diversity, inclusive of all ages, colors, sexual orientations, gender identities, abilities, and classes.
