Our Governance

Our 5th UU Principle states that we affirm and promote the right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large. We take this responsibility seriously at UUCT. UUCT members vote to fill board positions as well as important issues facing the congregation.

Committees

We have several standing and ad-hoc committees which help the congregation accomplish specific tasks or goals.
