                                                                                                                                                          Members of liberal churches have always actively participated in the organizational and governing aspects of the church. Unity Church has long supported this tradition through the concept of shared ministry. The Worship Associates program is a natural evolution of this concept.

                                                                                                                                                          Church members, acting as Worship Associates, assist the ministers in the thematic development of worship services and sermons during the church year. Their participation during the Sunday worship service is a testimony to our community's commitment to direct congregational involvement in the worship and liturgy of the church.

                                                                                                                                                          The Worship Associates are made up of voting members of the congregation who serve for a period of two years. The group meets quarterly with the ministers to discuss and plan the upcoming worship services. Each Associate works with a minister to develop and conduct three to four services during the church year.

                                                                                                                                                          If you would like to learn more about the Worship Associate program, please contact Martha Tilton by email at martha@unityunitarian.org.
