Like all Unitarian Universalist congregations, we are independent and self-governing. An annual meeting allows all members equal voting rights for church governance.

Our church is supported by the voluntary contributions of members and friends, fund-raising activities, and interest from invested funds (gifts from past members and friends). Each year in late Winter we have a pledge drive to invite members and friends to pledge their financial support for continuing the life and activities of the church.

Many of the church's activities are managed by committees. Friends and members work together on the following committees to do the work of the church:

• Executive, manages church affairs.
• Finance, plans and manages the church budget.
• Membership and Program, helps people feel welcome in our church and plans social activities.
• Ministerial Relations, promotes good communication between minister and congregation.
• Nominating, nominates candidates to fill vacancies in church governance positions.
• Property, oversees maintenance of our historic building and grounds.
• Religious Education, plans and conducts education programs for children, youth, and adults.
• Social Responsibility, develops and promotes social action programs.
• Worship and Arts, oversees worship services in our church.
