Becoming a
Member
Why Join the UUCF?
In the transient society in which we
live, it has become more and more difficult for people to feel
connected. Most of us are living far from the home of our childhood,
away from old friends and family support. UUCF offers a liberal
religious community, and an extended family, to those seeking
comfort and companionship within a church setting.
We provide religious education for
children that support the values and ideals of the parents.
We are welcoming to diversity whether
ethnic, racial, sexual or cultural. We provide an arena that
encourages social action.
And we create an environment that
permits each person to be an individual. Everyone has his or her own
special contribution to make to our Church Family - won't you make
yours?
What is needed to become a Church
Member?
Members must be sixteen years of age, or have completed a "Coming of Age" course through the Religious Education program and have the recommendation of their mentor. They must agree to provide material support of record. They must have participated in this society for at least three months, or attended a class for new members, or are changing membership from another Unitarian Universalist congregation. Having met these conditions, a prospective member can sign the UUCF Membership Book in the presence of the Minister or a member of the Membership Committee.
As a member in UUCF you will enjoy
all the privileges of the democratic process, and participate in the
life and decision making of Church policy. We encourage all new
members to become involved with the life of the Church by joining a
committee, work party or attending social events. Sharing in work
and play are the benefits and joys of Church membership. In this
way, you will develop your own personal niche in the Church Family
and feel secure in your new religious community.
