How do I become a member?

We’re celebrating membership this season!

If you’re new to the congregation and thinking about formally joining, here are two opportunities. Contact Rev. Liz  with questions.

• 3/1 at 12:30 – Membership Quick Q&A
  A Connections representative and Rev. Liz will be available after service for questions about membership and to help you discern whether you’re ready to join.
• 3/15 at 12:30 – Sign the Book! 
  This is your chance to formally join First U Lou as a member. We will gather in the library after service for a time to sign the membership book.

The short answer is, you become a member simply by signing the membership book, in the presence of the minister or a board member. First Unitarian is a free church; no assent to a creed or formula of faith is required.

The long answer is, we want you to join as a member only when you are ready to make a commitment to this congregation, and to Unitarian Universalism. Attend several services; learn about Unitarian Universalism by participating in the new member classes; make an appointment to meet with the minister or the Director of Religious Exploration. We expect that our members will be active participants in the life of the congregation, who contribute their presence, time, skills, and money.

Why on earth would you want to do all that? You do it because you know that here, you have found your religious home. You do it because you want to be a part of this covenanted community. You do it because you recognize that being a member of this congregation will enrich your life, and the lives of children and future generations.
