Unitarian Universalist Church of Palo Alto

Join UUCPA

When you are ready, we encourage you to become a member of UUCPA. We ask our members to be active, to volunteer, and to contribute financial support.  Completing the Volunteer/Talent Survey will help you find the volunteer task that fits you most comfortably.

Benefits of membership
Membership gives you leverage: the more members we have, the more influence we can have as a liberal religious body in our own community and in the world. Membership allows you to vote, and to serve on the Board of Trustees and in certain leadership positions.

Before Joining

• Sign up for our introductory class “Getting to Know UU and UUCPA.” 
• Meet with our ministers to introduce yourself and to clarify any concerns.
• Contact the Membership and Growth Committee or office to have your questions answered or to have someone contact you.

How to Join
Complete the Request for Membership card . You’ll find this in the office or at the Welcome Table on Sunday. At the next board meeting, the Board will affirm your request and you will be a member of UUCPA.

Let’s Celebrate
We formally welcome new members twice a year during Sunday Worship Service. The Membership and Growth Committee will contact you about the next service.

Your financial contribution
Members and friends of UUCPA make an annual financial pledge to UUCPA, paid all at once or throughout the year. We encourage members to pledge 3-5% of their income.  UUCPA appreciates your gift of any amount.  Other gifts and bequests are also welcomed.  The members of the Finance Committee will be happy to talk to you about how to contribute to the financial support of this congregation.
