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.
