What do I do if I’m interested in becoming a member?
If you haven’t already, please join us for our multiplatform Sunday services or at our other community gatherings. All are welcome!
In addition, please feel free to read about what we believe in
Please attend three monthly UU and UULA intro courses starting in January that lead up to the membership ceremonies (schedule to the right)
If after attending church services and taking the orientation classes, you’re still interested in becoming a member, you will then fill out a simple form. The form requests the following information:
Intent to become a member of the First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles
Financial pledge to First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles*
Emergency contact information
Tell us your church interests!
And then we have our special induction ceremony in April, where you’ll sign the membership book and be publicly and fully welcomed into the community!
* NOTE: Although we ask for a pledge, we are sensitive to financial constraints and do not want the pledge to be an obstacle to becoming a member. A pledge is an expression of community investment and stewardship, but it can be any amount you are comfortable contributing.
