Building Team
Have background in painting, carpentry, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, geothermal, or kitchen equipment? Or, even lacking experience, want to contribute your energy? The Building Team protects the congregation’s building and the integrity of its assets including the roof, floors, walls, ceilings, and all of the furniture, fixtures, and equipment within it. This includes electrical, water, sewage, ventilation, heating/air conditioning/geothermal, fire safety, and elevator systems.
The team leader also recommends repairs and or replacement of equipment, oversees budgetary planning and capital expenditures, works closely with venders/contractors, oversees the bidding process, reviews contracts, and ensures all maintenance and repairs are completed on a timely, cost effective basis and according to church policy. More Information? The Team has a Maintenance Manual, which is available for review.

Our Stories
I grew up in a series of fundamentalist protestant churches. The creed offered through sermons and Sunday school lessons was of persistent pain, humiliation and degradation. So there was no way to escape the sorrow and find joy. When I went to college I learned about the Unitarian Universalist faith through reading. When I gave up trying to believe what I had learned as a child, I was happy to find this congregation. I could not believe that such a place of worship could exist—not barren, not drab, not filled with anguish and suffering. The very architecture spoke of soaring joy and hope. Who could be downtrodden or oppressed here? This building speaks to the joy and beauty of life, the trees dance for us. Whenever I am asked what I value here, I always reply that I am excited by our individual searches for truth. But I am also enriched and inspired by the beauty of our gathering place."
