Becoming a Member
Welcome to QUUF!
If you are new to our Fellowship and would like more information about how to get involved, please fill out our Visitor Form so that we can better welcome you. (You can also fill out this form in person on Sunday mornings.) This allows you to receive our Weekly Update via email, and the Membership and Belonging Team will be available to answer questions and help you get involved in the life of Quimper Unitarian Universalist Fellowship.
Why join QUUF?
When you take the steps to become a member of QUUF and participate in the life of this vital congregation, you will reap the benefits and share the responsibilities for supporting this welcoming fellowship. You will belong. You will discover and develop a meaningful relationship with QUUF, expressed differently by each of us, both as our personal spiritual home and as a place to connect, engage, and grow, while contributing to the congregation and the broader community.
Four Steps to Becoming a Member
1. Attend a New Member Orientation: When you are ready to consider membership, attend our Newcomer Orientation, usually scheduled as two two-hour sessions. The orientation provides basic information about Unitarian Universalism, as well as the benefits and responsibilities of QUUF membership. Our New Member Orientations are offered twice a year. To find out more information and the date of the next class, email Elizabeth Walker.
2. Meet with the Minister: Following the Orientation, all potential new members meet one on one with the minister to discuss personal interest in becoming a member of QUUF. At this meeting, plan to submit the new member forms provided by the Membership Team.
3. Wait for Board Approval: The Minister and Membership Team submit recommendations to the Board of Trustees. The Board votes each new member in.
4. Become a Recognized Member: The final step is to participate in a Recognition Sunday Ceremony to sign our Membership Book and be recognized by the congregation. You will then be a full member of our community!
So, if you haven’t already done so, please fill out our Visitor Form so that we can better welcome you.
