Committees and Activities
Our Unitarian Church is only as strong as our members and friends make it. There are numerous ways to get involved in the life of the church. We encourage you to browse this section of our website to find out the many different opportunities for involvement , connection, and friendship our church offers.
The following paragraphs list each of our committees and activites and show you how they are structured as five different "pods" within our church. Each pod or grouping has a liaison, a member of the church board of trustees. The liaison offers guidance and helps coordinate communication between the board and its committees and the congregation.
