Stewardship
In keeping with Unitarian Universalist tradition, our church is self-supporting. As a congregation, we have the freedom to choose our staff, programs and style of governance; we also take on the responsibility to fund an annual budget that can support our church. Moreover, generosity and compassion are foundational to our shared religious values.
For all of these reasons, giving to the church is an important aspect of our shared religious practice: an “identified financial contribution” is a requirement of active membership, and a much-appreciated pattern of many UUCL “friends” near and far.
There are several ways to give to UUCL—
Annual Financial Commitments:
To indicate a specific amount that you “pledge” to give the church during the current year, please complete the online form below, or print out a .pdf version of the Financial Commitment form and send it to the church office. We are happy to help you set up recurrent contributions at monthly intervals (via direct debit from your bank account, credit card or automatic check payments). Please use either form to indicate the total amount of your commitment, and Nadinne Ziegler, UUCL’s Director of Finance and Administration, will be in touch with you to finalize arrangements.
One-Time Donations:
There are several distinct funds for which contributions are welcome, including “A Solid Place to Stand,” a 2009-10 Special Appeal to support continued growth of our church. Click on the link below to make your gift to any of these funds electronically, or contact Nadinne Ziegler for assistance.
