At Boulder Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, we believe in shared ministry. That means everyone plays a role in leading and caring for our community—not just ordained clergy.

Because of this commitment, and guided by our Congregational Covenant, we’ve chosen a collaborative way of organizing and making decisions. Authority is spread across semi-independent groups that stay connected through ongoing communication and feedback. This approach encourages partnership among ministers, staff, and laypeople, values different strengths, and helps us work together without relying on rigid hierarchies.

Our community includes the congregation, elected leaders, lay leaders, our Minister, and staff. We work together through collaboration, open communication, mutual support, and shared accountability to bring our vision to life: “bringing love and reason to life and building a just and compassionate world.”

For this to work well, strong relationships matter. That means staying grounded in trust, transparency, good faith, and fair, open processes.
