Congregational Certification
The certification process for General Assembly (GA) will take place between November of 2007 and February of 2008.The Annual Congregational Membership Certification and Address Information Form is available online.
This process is used to report congregations' official membership numbers, which determine both the number of member delegates allowed at GA and the Annual Program Fund (APF) Fair Share contributions to the UUA. It also serves to update congregation information for the 2009 UUA Directory.
All congregations must file for certification by 5 p.m. EST on February 1, 2008, in order to be certified for GA. Only certified congregations may send voting delegates to the 2008 General Assembly.

- Conducted regular religious services;
