Pathway to Membership
Unitarian Universalist minister Jack Mendelsohn writes, “Our religious way of life is not so much an arriving as a becoming—an ongoing process of thought and life experience. Joining for you may mean fresh steps along a familiar path. It may mean venturing into uncharted territory. In either case, the initiative is yours.”
We welcome visitors and friends to join the larger Unitarian Universalist movement and become members of Main Line Unitarian Church. Before making this commitment, we encourage all of our visitors to get acquainted with the church by attending Sunday services and participating in one of our many activities. In addition, visitors should enroll in our Pathway to Membership program.
Offered twice a year, the Pathway to Membership program consists of four classes, conveniently held on Sundays between services. These classes are designed to orient you to Unitarian Universalism, Main Line Unitarian Church, and the rights and responsibilities of membership.
Upcoming Class Schedule:
History of Unitarian Universalism: The first step to membership—provides a brief exploration of the history of Unitarian Universalism.

We look forward to welcoming you into membership!
