UAC Connections Networking
One of the difficulties that can arise within small, independent parishes is a feeling of isolation. It is easy to start to feel alone and isolated from the world. UAC Connections offers two solutions to that problem. The first is the UAC Connections Network, a network of independent churches that gather to share experiences, concerns, joys, sorrows, and fellowship. You maintain complete autonomy, but benefit from companions on the journey. UAC Connections Network churches receive a discount on all UAC Connections services and a quarterly newsletter.
The second level of involvement is for your church to become a parish of the UAC. There is an application process for both clergy and congregations wishing to join the UAC, and a visit by a UAC staff member is required. Your church retains local autonomy in congregational affairs and agrees to follow the UAC Canons. The Canons do require that your church be fully inclusive and welcome all members. UAC churches receive all UAC Connections services free of charge and are entitled to attend all UAC education and training opportunities at no charge.
