The NYSCU was organized in 1825 and was the principal denominational body for Universalist churches in New York State until 1961. Today the NYSCU administers two endowments and holds annual meetings. One endowment provides service gratuities for retired New York State Universalist ministers and their spouses; the other promotes the growth of Unitarian Universalism and preserves the Universalist tradition through grants and loans. Additionally, the NYSCU appoints the majority of the Board of the St. Lawrence Foundation for Theological Education, which administers a third endowment for the support of students studying for the UU ministry.

The New Massachusetts Universalist Convention is an organization of individual Unitarian Universalists devoted to fanning the flame of Universalism in order to inform the Unitarian Universalist movement today and to help light the way toward the future. We believe that the gentle and healing religion known as Universalism, of late only a byway trod by relatively few UUs, has the potential to become a highway of renewal for the UU movement as a whole. Our thrice-yearly newsletter is sent free for the asking to any address in North America. We publish pamphlets and brochures, maintain a Speakers Bureau, and sponsor an annual conference.
The Pennsylvania Universalist Convention (PUC) established in 1831, was comprised of all the Universalist Churches in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania at that time. It was not dissolved at the time of consolidation of the Universalist and Unitarian denominations in the 1960s; and continues to this day to support the remaining "Historic Universalist Churches/Societies" of Pennsylvania as well as the wider Unitarian Universalist Association. The location and post office address of the registered office of the corporation is 416 Franklin Street, Reading, PA 19601.
The PUC is incorporated under the Non-profit Corporation Law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for the purposes of supporting public worship within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania according to both the Universalist religious heritage and the principles and purposes of the Unitarian Universalist Association; the support of such benevolent, charitable, educational, and missionary undertakings within this Commonwealth; and the administration of all trusts which may be confided to this corporation. Today the PUC includes the seven remaining "Historic Universalist Churches/Societies in Pennsylvania, located in Girard, Smithton, Athens/Sheshequin, Towanda, Brooklyn, Reading and Philadelphia.
Officers: President, Joseph Plageman, Reading; Vice President, Elaine Lovegreen, Athens/Sheshequin; Secretary, David Palmer, Brooklyn and Treasurer, Katie Replogle, Athens/Sheshequin.
The members of Universalist Convocations are Unitarian Universalists united to explore and draw from the heritage of Universalist experience and faith in order to inform Unitarian Universalism today and to help light its way toward the future. We hold an annual convocation in the spring at a host church voted upon at the previous convocation. We alternate between the Northern and Southern parts of the country with the host church creating the theme and program.
