The Congregation is fortunate to have the support of persons who attend and participate in Congregational activities, but who choose to not join as members. These persons are referred to as Friends of the Congregation.

Like members, friends are expected to support the Congregation in two ways:
(1) Financial support. Financial contribution to the Congregation is expected, in an amount that each member or friend decides based on her or his financial situation. Persons are encouraged to make a formal pledge of their intent to contribute, since this provides the most reliable information to the leadership in planning a budget. The Stewardship season and the budgeting process occurs during the spring for the succeeding fiscal year (May 1 through April 30), although pledges for partial years are welcome at any time.
(2) Service. The Congregation is governed by committees and an elected Board of Trustees. See the Leadership page for more information. Members and friends are encouraged to serve on committees or to take advantage of other opportunities for service. Committee participation is by “self-appointment”, that is, persons volunteer for committees based on interest. Only members of the Congregation may serve as committee chairs or on the Board of Trustees.
