BECOME A MEMBER
If First Unitarian Church of Dallas feels like your spiritual home and you are ready to deepen your connection, we welcome you to become a member—whether in person or online.
Becoming a member is a meaningful step into deeper participation with this beloved community. Membership entitles you to vote, to have a voice in the direction of the church, and to be a leader. It is through the dedication, voices, and participation of its members, both in-person and online, that the church truly comes to life.
MEMBERSHIP OPTIONS
In-person Membership
The defining act of membership for Unitarian Universalists is signing the membership book. You may sign the book at any time by calling the office and scheduling an appointment or participate in a Membership Sunday.
Membership Sundays at First Church are held on the 2nd Sunday of each month. Individuals wanting to join the church are invited to come to the front of the sanctuary at the end of the service and sign the book.
Online Membership
For those who connect from a distance, online membership offers a meaningful way to belong.
Our online members are an active part of the congregation. There are many ways to participate, including our monthly Online Members & Friends meetings, virtual classes and groups, and special livestreamed events. Wherever you are, you can make First Church your spiritual home.
