Agreements of UCC Board Members

• I commit to my own spiritual transformation. I will expand my conscious expression of Unity Principle through classes, reading, discussion, prayer and meditation with the goal of clearly discerning God’s will for my life and this community.
  
• I commit to the principle and practice of tithing.
  
• I commit to participation in Board and Church activities as a high priority in my life. I will attend scheduled Board meetings prepared and enthusiastic and fulfill all responsibilities I undertake on a timely basis.
  
• I commit to express my honest thoughts and feelings, and to hear my Board colleagues’ thoughts and feelings without defensiveness or recrimination.
  
• I commit to respect the opinions of other Board members, to support the majority decisions of the Board in my contacts with participants in this community even if I hold a minority view on an issue.
  
• I commit to being accountable for personal agreements and to Unity Principles, and to ask fellow Board members to be accountable to those same standards. I will avoid conflicts of interest or personal agendas in all my interactions with UCC and my fellow Board members.
  
• I commit to understand and abide by the bylaws of Unity Christ Church and the statutes governing nonprofit organizations and to stay informed on matters affecting our Church. I will always remember that in my role as a Board member my actions and statements have greater weight with the community than they would if I were a non Board member and I will conduct myself accordingly.
  
• I commit to uphold and further the mission of Unity Christ Church as I am directed through prayerful discernment and divine guidance.
  
• As the eyes, ears and voice for the congregation, I commit to being open and available to any individual or group of individuals to hear any comments they may have regarding Board actions and activities. I further commit to bringing these issues before the Board for discussion, provided the individual(s) raising the point(s) are willing to be named.
