Pathway to Membership

We warmly invite you to become part of our beloved community!

Considering Membership?

• Are you curious to know more about UUCP and Unitarian Universalism?
• Would you like to meet other newcomers to the congregation and form some connections with potential and long-time members?
• Do you have questions about our Celebration of Life services, our Children's Ministry, or Faith Development programs for adults?
• Are you wondering how to get connected with our social justice efforts or other congregational programs and activities?
• Would you like to learn about the requirements and responsibilities of membership?

For these reasons and more, register for the next Pathway to Membership class! Our Pathway to Membership (PTM) class is offered at least four times a year. The class currently consists of two parts. The first session takes place on a Sunday morning and the second session is held the following Saturday evening. The Saturday get-together includes a potluck, a message from the minister, and a joining ceremony for those who have decided to become members.

We offer Pathway to Membership classes at least four times annually.  The next two-session program will be scheduled for September.  Please access our 2012 - 2013 Program Catalog (available online by the end of August) and check our monthly newsletter Horizons, also available on this site, for updated information about 2012 - 2013 Pathway to Membership dates and times.

To register, contact the UUCP office at administrator@phoenixuu.org or 602-840-8400 x1998. You may also sign up at the "Returning Visitors" spot by the front door on a Sunday morning before or after the service. When registering, please be sure to tell us if you wish to make use of our free childcare services during the PTM class sessions. We will need to know the number/ages of your children in advance to make proper childcare arrangements. We look forward to answering your questions and getting to know you better! If you have questions ahead of time, please contact our Assistant Minister, Linda Lawrence, at assistantminister@phoenixuu.org or 602-840-8400 x204. FYI: This is an informational program that we offer as a step in our newcomers' exploratory process. There is no pressure to join. Becoming a member is an important decision, so take your time. We are glad to have you be a part of our community during your discernment process, and we will welcome you into membership if/when you decide UUCP membership is right for you.
