Pathways to Membership

Becoming a member of the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Springfield is a meaningful step—from simply attending services to fully joining our community of spirit, thought, and action. We welcome all who feel called to be part of our shared journey.

Our Recommended Pathway

We invite those considering membership to take part in our three-session discussion series, where we explore:

  • UU History and Beliefs — Our guiding principles and values and evolution of UU beliefs going back to the Reformation
  • Our Local UU Community –The history of our local UU community and a discussion of all the ways to contribute and belong
  • Meet the Minister — Rev. Michelle brings wisdom, compassion, and a deep commitment to the spirit of Unitarian Universalism. This is an opportunity not only to hear from her, but also to ask questions, share stories, and talk about the many ways this church can enrich our lives.

These sessions offer an opportunity to ask questions, meet others on a similar path, and deepen
your understanding of what it means to be a Unitarian Universalist.

Individualized Pathways

We also recognize that every person’s journey is unique. If the discussion series does not fit your schedule or if you would prefer a more personal approach, we are glad to work with you. An individualized membership pathway is available by contacting our minister. We will help you find a process that honors your needs and supports your connection to our community.

A Community Ready to Welcome You

Membership is an important and enriching step. Whether you come for spiritual grounding, intellectual exploration, community engagement, or a sense of belonging, we look forward to walking with you.

Let us help you find the pathway that works for you.
