Making the Commitment Often the best way to help prospective members make a commitment is to develop a new members class. Joining a Unitarian Universalist congregation is a very important moment in the lives of new members. The congregation taking it seriously will make sure that new members know they are valued and that their commitment to the congregation is well worth their time, love, and money. Deepening the Commitment As new members get more involved in the life of a congregation, they should be offered ample opportunities to grow in their faith and commitment to the congregation and to the Unitarian Universalist Association. It is important to offer clear guidelines on the responsibilities of membership.
New members are a great resource in any congregation.
Treat new members with love and respect and the returns will be great. Your congregation will be stronger, have less attrition, and grow in spiritual depth and commitment. This page was last updated September 25, 1999. There have been 1060 accesses to this page since November 27, 1998.
