At Allen Avenue Unitarian Universalist Church, in Portland Maine, as at all UU churches, ministry and leadership are shared — and our volunteer committees and teams play a crucial role in developing and carrying out both.

Deepen your connections with others in the congregation by putting your skills and experience to work as a member of a committee or team! We welcome your participation!
