Church Governance
The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Columbia is a self-governing, democratic congregation of Members governed by congregational Bylaws . The Congregation gathers for its annual meeting each year in late Spring.
The primary responsibilities of governance are reserved for the Congregation, including approving the church Bylaws, electing the Board of Trustees, adopting the Congregation’s budget, and calling a Minister. The Congregation also elects members to serve on the Endowment Committee and the Leadership Development Committee.

Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees, our elected leaders, represents the Congregation and conducts its business, subject to the authority granted under its Bylaws. The Board governs through Board policies and acts on behalf of the Congregation’s Mission. A policy–making Board, through planning, responsible management of resources, adopting policies, establishing committee expectations and monitoring performance, governs the UUCC.
