Governance

Our Mission

The mission of First Unitarian Universalist Church of San Diego is to create community, to nurture spiritual growth, and to act on our values to help heal the world.

The Executive Team

Consisting of the Lead Minister, the Assistant Minister, the Director of Operations, the Intern Minister and an appointed Lay Leader (two-year term), the Executive Team supports the congregation and the Ministry Teams. They make many independent decisions, such as handling the day-to-day administration of the church, reporting to the Board as necessary or as required.
​

Board Meeting - monthly on the third Tuesday
Tuesday, January 19, 6 pm. Board of Trustees meetings are open to congregants via Zoom. Email President Sarah Ormond at boardpresident@firstuusandiego.org for meeting information. Download the Union Tribune article to be discussed at the January 19 meeting.
​
8th Principle Forum 01/17/2021
Zoom With Your Board
​monthly on the first Sunday

Sunday, February 7, 10:30 am, https://bit.ly/FirstUUBoardChat. Chat with Board members to find out what the Board is working on or voice your accolades and/or concerns for our congregation.

The Board of Trustees

Our Church Board approves the policies presented by the Executive Team, as long as they are abiding by the Staff Limitations and other goals as set by the Board. In this way, the Board is freed up to be a long-term visioning group, able to discern what goals or ends the congregation wishes to achieve. The Board monitors the progress of the congregation in achieving agreed upon goals and monitors the performance of the Executive Team, in terms of their work towards the achievement of those goals. The Board of Trustees meets on the third Tuesday of each month and the meetings are open to church members. 
How to submit an agenda item to the Board
Church members requesting agenda items should complete and email a Board Agenda Request Form to boardpresident@firstuusandiego.org by the end of business hours on the last day of the month. Items will be addressed at the next meeting.
