Your UUCY leaders invite you to gather with us to explore our collective wisdom about our community through the Powerful Question of the month.
In this year of deep discernment, as we welcome a new minister, we are asking ourselves and each other to think deeply and share generously what we know, believe, and hope for as a congregation. Your leaders are contributing to this process by holding monthly meet-ups that invite discussion and discovery. We hope you will join us in this community-building opportunity.

About Our Leadership Board
Our Leadership Board is:
- Governed by our Bylaws, Mission, and Vision Statements
- Regulated by its Board policy and informed by membership through intentional and deliberate discovery as a standing agenda item at every Board meeting
- Accountable for creating conditions that achieve the mission and vision of the church—its decision-making is always biased toward this end.
- What difference do we want UUCY to make in this world? What are we called as a congregation to do?
- For whom?
- At what cost and priority?
- It delegates the achievement of the answers to these questions to the Program Council, staff, and members and friends and then regularly monitors and evaluates the achievement of outcomes and how the Program Council and staff acts while conducting the congregation's business.
- The Board focuses on the future, listens deeply to membership, and determines the programs and initiatives that will enable us to make our vision a reality.
Unitarian Universalist Polity
Congregational Polity sees no power that extends beyond those who elected them, that is, the congregation. A congregation has the right and responsibility to choose and ordain its own clergy, elect its own officers, direct them in the course of their duties, and replace them when necessary. There are no synods, bishops, or other persons empowered elsewhere with authority over a congregation.
