Become a Member of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Vero Beach (UUFVB).
Our members come from diverse faiths and beliefs. We are a community that embraces all, recognizing the inherent worth and dignity of every person. For more information, contact the UUFVB office at 772-778-5880 or email the Membership Committee at membership.committee@uufvb.org.
Becoming a UUFVB Member
Membership is an important commitment. As a member, you benefit from the many aspects of the Fellowship, and the Fellowship grows through your commitment. The Membership Committee offers periodic “Introduction to UUFVB” and “Path to Membership” classes for those wanting to learn more. Consider attending one or both of these classes. According to our bylaws, any person 16 or older who aligns with the Fellowship’s purpose can become a member by signing the Membership book and making a recorded financial contribution. After 30 days of membership, members gain voting privileges at congregational meetings. Members also receive UUWorld, a national magazine focused on current issues relevant to Unitarian Universalists.
For more information, feel free to contact the minister or Membership Committee. Call the UUFVB office at 772-778-5880 or email the Membership Committee at membership.committee@uufvb.org
