Pictured: New Members Fall 2023
As a member of UUSF, you join a faith community that has been an integral part of San Francisco since its founding in 1850. If you are interested in joining, see below for steps to membership.
STEP 1: ATTEND THE NEWCOMER ORIENTATION
It normally takes place on the first Sunday of each month at 12:30 pm in the Fireside Room. Registration is only required for child care.
New to this community? New to Unitarian Universalism? Come to this informal, interactive orientation to learn more about our faith community and its traditions. Led by passionate members of UUSF, this is a great first stop on your journey into our spiritual movement. Sessions are (usually) held on the first Sunday of the month.
New UU: A Welcome Home
Sunday, April 28, 2024, 12:30pm at UUSF
Join Revs. Vanessa Rush Southern and Laura Shennum for our New UU class! Held in-person at UUSF, this interactive class will introduce you to Unitarian Universalism and our congregation.
If you’re interested but not available for the next class, let Emma Wakeling know and we will reach out to you when we offer the class again: ewakeling@uusf.org
Our ministers want to get to know you. We ask that all prospective members meet with one of our ministers.
We hold a Membership Ceremony a few times a year on Sundays. On this day new members will sign our Membership Book and be recognized during the service.
MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS
Following your meeting with the minister, you will receive a Membership Packet with helpful resources and forms to complete before formally joining the congregation. These include:
A Pledge of Record
Members of UUSF are asked to make a financial pledge each year. A pledge can be paid over the course of the fiscal year. Your financial support help support the mission and vision of the congregation. Pledges may be paid through our online platform (Vanco) or by check. If you have questions about pledges, donations and pledge payments, contact Laura Ludwig, Director of Operations - lludwig@uusf.org.
Information Form
Prospective members are asked to complete a couple forms, which ask about your interest, skills and talents. We offer many opportunities to both learn and lead.
