Key Facts is a summary of important historical data for the Fellowship It can be used by the congregation for strategic planning purposes. It may also be used as a source to give a profile of our congregation to our leadership, the district office, Unitarian Universalist Association staff, and others who may work with our congregation.
Key facts are entered into the fellowship database at the end of each church year (June). Some information may only be available when congregational surveys are conducted.
The latest Key Facts document is always part of the current Fellowship Strategic Plan
