Become involved.
- Nurture your spiritual growth independently and in fellowship. In addition to attending Sunday worship services, consider joining a fellowship group, singing with the choir, or participating in one of our adult program classes.
- Enjoy the fellowship of others through social events such as our Meatless Monday Pot-Luck dinners, beach gatherings, or small group dinners.
- Share your talents by helping out with one time or ongoing efforts like the annual auction, staffing the welcome table, or participating in social justice activities.
Connect with a program that matches your needs and interests by fill out a ‘Newcomer Information’ form at Pathways (see below) or get one from our membership. Contact membership@uucov.org.
Support UUCOV financially.
Member congregations of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) are financially independent institutions. We encourage you to invest in the congregation. Our Stewardship Committee Chair or Treasurer can answer your questions.
Discuss membership and attend a ‘Pathways’ class.
To learn more about Unitarian Universalism and UUCOV, please join us for a two-hour group meeting. These are held in the fall and spring. Meet and get to know other newcomers, the Minister, and Membership Team. To register, contact our Membership Team at membership@uucov.org.
Sign the membership book.
Contact the membership chair when you are ready to sign and become a member, or you may wish to establish a relationship to the congregation as a pledging friend. Whatever type of involvement you decide on, you are welcome to participate in all our events and activities. Only members can vote at our annual meeting on items such as budgets and by-law changes.
