You will find us to be a community of thoughtful and caring people as part of a faith tradition that works to put your values into practice. There is a 4 step membership process.
Step 1: Coffee and Conversation
Coffee and Conversation meets immediately after the second Sunday of the month to allow visitors to ask questions and to meet others who are looking for a spiritual community. Step 1 lasts about 45 minutes with childcare provided.
Step 2: Get to Know UU
At posted dates, we’ll have a conversation about the history and theology ofUnitarian Universalism and other religious questions and how Unitarian Universalism addresses them. You will engage with the Minister and Membership Coordinator in an interactive class for about 1 and ½ hours. Child Care is provided at request.
Step 3: Become a Member!
What does it mean to actually “join” a church, and in particular, this one! What are the benefits to you? What responsibility do you have toward the church? If you’re ready, you’ll be invited to sign the Membership Book at the end of the class. Periodically, we also hold a formal Member Dedication as part of a Sunday Service. This session meets at posted dates and child care is provided at request.
Step 4: What’s Next?
Once you are introduced to the congregation at a New Member ceremony, you will be invited to a small group meeting with our Engagement Coordinators to explore opportunities for personal and community involvement here at West Shore. Childcare is provided upon request.
