UUCL Mission and Values Survey

As UUCL considers its financial future, the Financial Sustainability Team (FST) wants to understand what our congregation most values about UUCL and what we believe is most important to our future. Your responses will help inform the priorities and values we use as we develop scenarios for long-term financial sustainability. There are no right or wrong answers, and brief responses are welcome.

In the coming months, the FST will also host listening sessions to engage with the congregation and further understand UUCL’s priorities.

Individual submissions are anonymous and will only be viewed by the FST. Themes identified throughout responses will be aggregated and may be shared with the congregation.

*You may answer as many of the questions as you wish, but are not required to answer all. Households with multiple members are encouraged to respond individually, including youth.

Notice!!!⚠️

Some users have reported errors when trying to submit long answers. For best results, please compose your answers in your favorite Word Processor app, and then copy and paste them into the fields. Thank you for your understanding as we try to work out any bugs in our system.
