First UU Church of Austin encourages the formation of new groups to enhance our ability to gather in community to nourish souls, transform lives, and do justice. In order to ensure that all groups contribute meaningfully to the church’s mission and ends, to provide transparency, and to ensure accountability we require all new groups to engage in an application process. This application serves for those groups and activities that do not already have a clear process (such as chalice circles, adult education classes, etc.). Please send your completed form to and it will get forwarded to the appropriate person.
What is your group’s purpose?
Who is currently committed to participate in this group? (Please provide names and put an asterisk by the names of current members of the church.)
What are your group’s planned activities?
What church resources does your group propose to use (e.g., weekly classroom space, newsletter and announcements for publicity, table space in the gallery, budget)?
Where, when, and how frequently does your group propose to do its activities?
How does your group promote the church’s ends? (Please cite specific ends – which you can find on the church website – and how specifically your activities will help the church accomplish them.)
How do new people join the group?
Please add any additional information that you may consider relevant.
