On becoming a Unitarian Universalist Church of Tampa member . . .

We encourage people considering membership to attend our "Getting to know UU" classes. These classes are held throughout the year and provide a history of Unitarian Universalism as well as a history of the Tampa UU Church. To find out our next scheduled class, call the office at 813-988-8188.

The primary goal of the "Getting to Know UU" meetings is to:

Learn the history of the UU movement and the Tampa UU church.
Explore thier own spiritual path.
Meet the minister, board members, and committee chairs.
Get to know fellow new members so they will feel connected, and a part of the UU community.
Examine their willingness to become responsible church members.

Participating in the "Getting to Know UU" series is not a requirement for membership. However, when folks choose not to attend the classes or are unable to fit them into their calendar, they are encouraged to schedule a time to discuss their constraints with the minister and to sign the book when they are ready to commit to membership.

The responsibilities of membership:

Attend church regularly
Work on your own spiritual development
Serve on a task group
Pledge at a stewardship level
Be involved in service to others
Connect to the wider UU movement
