Path to Membership at All Souls:

Membership is open to any person fourteen years of age or over, who is in sympathy with the purposes, vision and mission of the Church, as well as the principles and purposes of the Unitarian Universalist Association. 

The second step in our membership process is to take our Path to Membership Classes which are held throughout the year.  The classes  meet for a few hours on a Saturday morning and will cover some basics of Unitarian Universalism and the structure of our church.  It culminates in the signing of the Membership Book for those who feel they are ready to assume the stewardship and financial responsibilities of membership.

Signing the Membership Book signifies your commitment to support the church with your time, talent and finances.  We ask that our members make an annual pledge for the support of the church in addition to volunteering their time on one of the committees.  If someone needs more time to consider, they are welcome to sign the Membership Book at another time.

If you would like a personal conversation with our minister, Rev. Bruce Clear or with our Director of Religious Education, Nancy Clear,  our Office Administrator, Kathryn Woods, will set up a time and place when you can meet.

In our church and in our Unitarian Universalist Association, we often use the metaphor that we are walking together to support each other on our individual religious journey.  In a related way, we also use the term membership journey to describe our unfolding experience as we become more involved in the life and ministry of our church.

With the signing of the Membership Book, we welcome you as you begin your individual membership journey.  We fully expect your journey will prove interesting, worthwhile and rewarding.


Exploring Unitarian Universalist discussion groups:

All Souls holds Exploring Unitarian Universalist discussion groups the 4th Sunday of each month in the library following the service.  This is an opportunity for visitors and those unfamiliar with Unitarian Universalism to ask questions and discuss issues with the minister and, or, lay leadership of the church.    Everyone is invited to attend.
