We do want to say up front that membership means a lot to Unitarians. The challenge and power of governance belongs to the congregation. Together, members participate in the democratic process to determine the direction, budget, and priorities of the church. We are a fully self-supporting, non-profit organization. This “congregational polity” is a cornerstone of Unitarian history and is treasured as both a right and a duty.
“Because I am a member, I don’t just warm a pew – I participate in the process of being a church.”
