Volunteer Resources

Volunteers are the backbone of UUCC.  Through their work, the church educates our children, crafts worship, enhances our fellowship, and reaches out to the larger community.

Our aim is to provide our volunteers with what they need to both enjoy and succeed in their roles at UUCC.
