There is a quicklist of chapter coordinators at the bottom of this page. To get involved on your local chapter level, please contact those coordinators or contact the national office.

The Coalition suggests chapters focus on one or more of these themes as catalysts for energy and organizing:

  • ONA work in local congregations, associations, conferences, or other settings such as divinity schools or seminaries
    • For a list of ONA consultants in your area, click here. They can act as resource people for you.
  • Youth and Young Adult work in your local area, with UCC-related colleges, seminaries and divinity schools, presence at regional or national youth events, and other events. To view a list of workshops that have been given, please click here.
  • Local and national Equality in Marriage endeavors. There are many resources available via both the UCC and The Coalition.
  • Other current issues around which you can organize, seek support, or gain more information.
