Affirmation and Pledge Form

  • Your pledge of financial support for Berrien Unitarian Universalist Fellowship makes it possible to bring together a community passionately committed to social justice that collectively advocates for a more ethical, life-affirming, democratic, and sustainable society. We accomplish this through weekly Sunday services, ongoing children’s religious education and Adult Faith Development, pastoral care for members and friends, our Green Sanctuary initiatives, partnering with community organizations such as the Benton Harbor Soup Kitchen, Citizens Climate Lobby, All God’s Children Choir, Southwest Michigan Interfaith Action Council, and more. Berrien Unitarian Universalist Fellowship member voting status is renewed annually. A signed Affirmation and Pledge form for the current church year (July-June) is required for BUUF voting membership.

The UUA recommends that members pledge a “fair-share” contribution of 2 to 10% of income. Those not giving at this level currently may want to consider it a goal to strive for over the coming years. All contributions of any amount are welcomed and appreciated.
