Leadership at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Reading
Our Unitarian Universalist congregation is a self-governing entity. The congregation controls its own finances and property, and selects its leadership and form of governance. Our minister is called to partner with us by a vote of the congregation.
Semi-annual meetings are held in the fall and spring, at which time voting members of the congregation gather to elect Governing Board members and other officers, to hear reports of ministry groups, approve the budget and act on any special issues. Additional meetings may be held at the recommendation of the Governing Board to address concerns as they arise. In short, the leadership of the congregation originates from the members themselves, and is carried out in collaboration with our professional staff and committed lay leadership. In order to facilitate informed and skilled leadership within our congregation, leadership development opportunities are offered regularly during the year.
