We welcome new members at Second Unitarian Church! Here are the suggested steps toward membership.

Get To Know Us

Try out a few of our worship services and activities. Drop in to one of our “Just the Basics” newcomer sessions held after the worship service on the second Sunday of the month. These half-hour sessions can help you learn the basics of Unitarian Universalism and this church and how to become more involved.

Thoughtfully Consider if Second Unitarian Is Right for You

Learn about this faith and this church, so you may discern if Second Unitarian Church is a good fit for you. We offer three ways to assist you in this:

New to UU? Attend Our “Pathways to Membership” Series

We recommend you attend this two-class series. Offered twice a year, we:

• • Explore our individual spiritual journeys and beliefs.
  • Learn about UU history and our faith.
  • Learn about the benefits and responsibilities of membership.

Unitarian Universalism 101 Alternative

If a two-class series cannot fit into your schedule, we offer an online self-study option at Unitarian Universalism 101. Here you will find a series of short videos explaining this faith and its history. We also recommend you view Second Unitarian’s Purpose, Vision & Mission; our Covenant of Right Relations; and both the Benefits of Membership and 2U’s Expectations of Members.

We invite you to peruse this website at your leisure and at your own pace. If you find that our faith resonates with you, we invite you to meet with Rev. Juniper Meadows or a Connection Team member to ask questions and discuss the possibility of membership at Second Unitarian.

Already a UU?

Perhaps you are already well-versed in Unitarian Universalism! You are still welcome to attend the Pathways to Membership series — it’s good to connect with other UUs, review or deepen your understanding of Unitarian Universalism and learn more about Second Unitarian and the expectations of membership.

You can also simply meet with Rev. Juniper Meadows or a Connection Team member to discuss membership.

Join 2U By Signing Our Membership Book

If you decide you are ready to join 2U as a member, please contact a Connection Team member or Rev. Juniper Meadows to make arrangements to sign Second Unitarian Church’s membership book.

Make a Financial Pledge

Our bylaws require new members to turn in a signed financial pledge form within 60 days of joining 2U. You decide the amount. Please be as thoughtful and generous as you can in deciding your fair share of the church’s needs, in light of your income and means. Your initial pledge should reflect the remaining time left in the church year (July 1 – June 30). In other words, if only six months remain in the church year, pledge only half of what you would pledge in a full year. See Annual Pledging.

Attend a Welcoming Ceremony

This joyful ceremony is presented during a Sunday worship service. The congregation celebrates and welcomes you and other new members into the Second Unitarian community.

If you have further questions about membership, please contact our Connection Team Chairperson at membership@2uomaha.org
