When you become a member, you are saying yes to a spiritual home rooted in love, justice, and connection.

Newcomer Pathways

We offer a number of ways to become familiar with the programs and ministries of the congregation as you discern if membership is right for you and your family.

These sessions offer a chance to learn about Cedar Lane, explore the history and values of Unitarian Universalism, and reflect on what it means to be part of a spiritual community.

Open to anyone who is new, curious, or considering a deeper connection, these gatherings include conversation, reflection, and opportunities to meet with ministers and lay leaders.

  • Join us after the worship service once a month in an informal space to meet others, ask questions, and get a sense of our community.

  • This seven-session series is held on Sunday after the worship service and explores different aspects of Cedar Lane, UU faith, and community life.

  • Offered a couple of times in the fall and again in the spring, these sessions provide a deeper introduction to Unitarian Universalist theology and history.

  • Offered three times a year, come for this informative tour of the campus: its buildings, outdoor spaces, and classrooms.

  • These quarterly sessions explore the nuts and bolts of what membership means at Cedar Lane.

  • On a quarterly basis during a worship service, we welcome and publicly celebrate people who have chosen membership. This is a meaningful ceremony for both the new members and the congregation.

  • A couple of times a year, the Nominating and Leadership Development Committee holds sessions for newer and current members may discover pathways into leadership and shared ministry at Cedar Lane.

  • In the fall, the ministry teams responsible for nurturing welcome and belonging at Cedar Lane hold a hospitality retreat. We invite newer and current members to participate.

These are casual, welcoming gatherings, and you are welcome to drop in. RSVPs are appreciated but not required.

If childcare would help you attend and participate fully, please let us know at least 7 days in advance so we have time to arrange it. Otherwise, children are welcome to be with you during the program—we'll have books and soft toys nearby for young children.
