Why Become a Member?
"Becoming a member means that you have chosen University Unitarian Church as your spiritual home, a place to grow and nurture yourself and others. We invite you to come walk your path, companioned by others doing the same."
Joining a spiritual community is an important personal decision and a serious life commitment. We invite and support your exploration of this commitment with us.
The covenant of membership is a promise we make to ourselves and to each other “to awaken spirit, nurture hope and inspire action,” as our mission statement says. This means that as members, we help one another discover more deeply who we are, and how we may live our values more meaningfully and in new ways. We receive care from the community and provide care for others—and we also have an obligation to care for ourselves.
Why Become A Member?
- Members take on the mantle and legacy of stewardship for this church. We take pride in being connected in an important way to the rich history of our Unitarian Universalist faith. This leads us to understand that our support of this community is an expression of care for future generations. Membership is a public affirmation of what this religious community values and does in the world.
- Members have a voice in shaping this church community and the work of the shared ministries we carry out inside and outside our doors. Members vote and participate in the democratic process that elects leaders and steers the priorities of the church.
- Members are eligible to serve as delegates to the annual General Assembly of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). As a large church, we hold a proportionately large responsibility to guide the institutions of our faith tradition.
- Members are able to hold leadership positions in UUC committees and programs such as the Board of Trustees and its appointed task groups, Justice Ministries, Care Team, Family Ministry, and various volunteer teams. We can also serve in leadership positions for the UUA and its Pacific Western Region.
- Members have the privilege of receiving rites of passage at the church, officiated by one of our ministers. Such events include weddings, child dedications, and memorial services.
- Members receive a complimentary subscription to the UU World magazine, a print and digital publication of the Unitarian Universalist Association.
- New members also receive a personal chalice and UUC name tag as welcome gifts from the congregation.
