Preparing for Membership

  • Attend a Newcomers Circle.
  • This gathering is an informal opportunity to meet the ministers and learn a little about Unitarian Universalism, our congregation, and its many activities. This activity typically takes place once each month, between the two Sunday-morning worship services. Check the Order of Service on Sunday morning for details on upcoming sessions.

  • Attend our orientation classes.
  • This is a two-session series, each one led by one of our ministers. Part One is called “Unitarian Universalism 101” and addresses the history of our faith, the sources of our living tradition, and the vision our congregation holds for its future. Part Two is called “Finding Yourself at UUSM” and addresses our personal religious paths and provides more opportunity to discern the various ways to get involved in ministry here. These classes are held periodically throughout the program year. You can take these classes in any order.

  • Learn more about the meaning and expectations of membership by communicating with Membership Coordinator This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it or someone from our Membership Team.

  • Spend some time within yourself reflecting about what it will mean to you to commit to being a member of this church.
  • How will you want to help make the mission and vision of this institution real? Does the Unitarian Universalists of San Mateo feel like your spiritual home? How might you want to invest your own gifts of time, talent and treasure to support our mission?

  • Have some fun!
  • Get to know more of our members by attending social events, such a potluck, our annual picnic, Talent Show, or our seasonal Circle Dinners. These suppers are held monthly on Saturday nights, usually from January through April of each year. Responsibilities for hosting, food and beverage responsibilities rotate among participants.
