About
How UUCF Is Organized
A plain-language guide to shared leadership, practical care, and community life.
Lay-Led Community
UUCF works because people share the work of belonging.
UUCF is a lay-led congregation. That means members and volunteers carry much of the practical and spiritual life of the community together.
The Board of Directors helps steward the congregation's responsibilities, priorities, and long-term health. Committees help organize areas of shared work, care, programs, facilities, communication, and decision-making.
This structure is not meant to feel bureaucratic. At its best, it is how a small congregation shares trust, labor, imagination, and care.

Structure in Service of Care
Organization is not the point. Community is.
Boards, committees, calendars, policies, and volunteer roles are tools. They help UUCF make decisions, care for shared resources, notice what needs attention, and invite more people into meaningful participation.
When the structure is working well, it does not feel like red tape. It feels like a community making room for trust, shared responsibility, imagination, and the ordinary work of caring for one another.
