Resources for UU Administrators and Congregational Leaders
Church administration is hard work, and good resources are hard to find — especially resources that understand UU culture, governance, and values. This page is where I’ll share tools, templates, guides, and reflections that I hope will be genuinely useful to administrators, ministers, board members, and congregational leaders.
Some resources will be free. Others will be available for a small fee. All of them will be grounded in real experience — things I’ve learned, built, and tested in actual congregational settings.
New Administrator Orientation Checklist
A practical checklist for administrators stepping into a new role — covering digital systems, compliance, HR, communications, and board support.
Volunteer Team Setup Guide
A step-by-step guide to recruiting, interviewing, and organizing volunteers into effective administrative teams — based on the capacity-building approach developed at UUCiL.
Volunteer Team California Nonprofit Compliance Calendar Guide
A month-by-month guide to the compliance tasks California UU congregations need to track — filings, renewals, trainings, and deadlines.
Is There a Resource You Wish Existed?
I’d genuinely like to know. The resources I develop will be grounded in real needs — so if there’s something that would make your work easier, please tell me.
