Membership at North Parish means…
Helping keep our spiritual community strong by participating in activities
Members make our community thrive by attending Sunday services, and helping on various committees, task forces, and small groups that make North Parish what it is.
Supporting North Parish financially
While no specific amounts are prescribed, all members are expected to make a fair share commitment of support for each upcoming fiscal year. See Being Stewards and Annual Giving Pledge for more information.
Participating in the democratic governance of our congregation
Members set the mission, budget and policies and all-congregation justice resolutions by voting at congregational meetings.
Members may consider leadership roles on our teams, committees, and governance groups. For information about these roles, see Mission & Governance and Lay Leadership.
