and is a member of the Unitarian Universalist Association
MVUC is self-governing, like all Unitarian Universalist congregations.
Self-governance means our members elect our leaders, who serve on the Board of Trustees and Program Council.
Church members also vote to call the ministers who serve the congregation. And we provide financial support to fund our operations and programs.
Our bylaws and policies define the rules and activities to accomplish our work, and the processes for making decisions.
The minutes of Board meetings record our decisions.
See current MVUC Policies, ByLaws and Board minutes.
We renew our membership in the the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations (UUA) yearly.
The UUA provides invaluable resources for leadership, consultation, and curricula, and guides us in the selection and successful settlement of our ministers.
At the General Assembly, we take part in larger fellowship and work of the UUA. GA is an annual meeting that anyone at MVUC can attend, online or in person.
If you would like to attend GA as a voting delegate of MVUC, please speak with with a Board member.
