Maybe you have been visiting our church and would like to explore joining our church. We have developed a "Path to Membership" to help you learn more about Unitarian Universalism and to find out what becoming a member means. Whether you have been attending for a few weeks, a few months or longer, we would like you to consider becoming a member of the UU Church of Long Beach.

STEP 1: Attend Minister’s Orientation
Our minister meets with all interested visitors after the second service on certain Sundays in his office. This is an opportunity to get to know him better and for you to share your stories and your questions. Childcare is provided. See schedule below. If you can't meet with the minister on the scheduled orientations, you can make an appointment to meet with him.

For the next month or so, Rev. Furrer will be in transition to our church. He is in the pulpit and readily available for conversations in September.

We will be scheduling Minister's Orientation at that time. You can in the meantime, email him at: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

STEP 2: Attend a Membership Class
A membership class is offered in October, February and May. In this class you will

• share your personal religious journey
• learn about the history of Unitarian Universalism
• hear how generations of Unitarian Universalists have contributed to our religious community
• discover the church’s many programs & activities
• learn how you can share your talents & treasures
• enjoy lunch with other prospective members
• be invited to become a member, and take the next step…
  

STEP 3: Sign the Membership Book and be recognized at New Member’s Sunday Service
New Member Signings are held in November, March and June, for those who have attended both the orientation and the class, and choose to sign the membership book. The signing occurs during the first and/or second service:

• you will sign the membership book before the congregation
• at the Service, church members will covenant with you to support your spiritual journey and your deeper involvement in the life of our church
• after the Service, you can join everyone for cake and coffee or tea where you will be welcomed by members and friends of this faith community

See below to learn when Step 1, 2 and 3 are being held.

Direct any questions about membership to Diane Julian, Membership Coordinator, by calling the church office during office hours or leaving her a message.

You may also speak to a member of the Membership Committee at the Welcome Table on Sunday mornings.

Membership in the Unitarian Universalist Church of Long Beach is open to those 16 years or older, who support the Church’s Purposes and Principles.
