Membership

Welcome to the Unitarian Univeralist Church at Washington Crossing.
We wish you a warm welcome, and are glad that you found us.

Visitors to the Unitarian Universalist Church at Washington Crossing (UUCWC) will be greeted at the front door. Please feel free to ask any questions you might have about UUCWC or Unitarian Universalism.

Children attend the first part of the service and then leave the service to attend class. Please talk to Nancy Torres-Vignola, Director of Lifespan Religious Education (DRLE), about our religious education curriculum and enrolling children in classes.

After service please join us for coffee hour where we meet to talk and socialize.

Path to Membership

We ask that you attend more than one service before you decide if UUCWC is for you. If you think that you are interested in becoming a member, there are several offerings and actions we recommend.

  • Attend First Encounters, offered on the First Sunday of each month, during coffee hour between services. First Encounters gives folks a chance to talk to members of the Membership Committee, ask questions and meet other UUCWC members.
  • UU 101, an informal luncheon, is held the last Sunday of the month. The Rev. Charles Stephens and Nancy Torres-Vignola discuss the history of UUism and UUCWC as well as share their personal stories. Attendees will also have a chance to share their spiritual journey if they wish to do so.
  • UU Basics is a series of four classes exploring the theological history, principles, and current practice of our congregation and of the Unitarian Universalist movement.

Becoming a member of UUCWC

If you have been thinking about becoming a member of UUCWC, please call the church office (609-737-0515) to make an appointment with Reverend Stephens. He will be glad to talk to you about membership and address any questions that you might have.

Once you decide to become a member, you will be asked to sign our Membership Book (not the guest book). We also ask that you commit to financially supporting the church on whatever level you are able to do so, but this is not mandatory for membership.

There are neighborhood potlucks, adult RE classes, small group activities, committee service, and other activities that allow people to enter into the life of the church in a meaningful way. Becoming an usher or a greeter allows a person to meet other members.
