Become a Member

What membership means at WBUUC

When you become a member of a community, you are essentially saying, “I am with you.” You’re throwing your hat in the ring with us, and there is a deep sense of belonging and community that comes from that commitment. We do our best to inform you about the benefits and expectations of membership, and becoming a member is as easy as signing our membership book.

Ready to become a member?

If you’re ready to become a member, please contact Rev. Jack Gaede, who holds the membership book in his office.
