Become a Member
Membership is not a requirement for participation in LUUC. We have many non-members who take an active role in our community. Membership is required to participate in decisions about the on-going day-to-day operations of LUUC.
If you’ve found a spiritual home with us, we encourage you to become a member of this community of seekers, doers and dreamers.
If I Want to Become a Member, What’s Involved?
Membership in the congregation allows you to have a voice in the governance of our congregation, serve as chair of a committee, and represent the congregation at Unitarian Universalist events and conferences.
When you feel that you are ready to deepen your relationship with this congregation, it is relatively easy. You will be asked to sign the Membership Book, make a financial pledge (of any size) and then you’ll be asked if you would like to take part in the lovely New Member Recognition Ceremony during a Sunday service.
In joining LUUC, you will be part of a spiritual community that is grounded in the long history of Unitarian Universalism.
