Service & Justice Ministries
Feed Your Heart, Mind, and Soul
The Service and Justice Ministries at UUAC offer you many ways to get involved and contribute, while feeding your heart, mind, and soul. Some ministries run year-round; others occur seasonally — and all of them have need of volunteers, whether you can spare a few hours or want to take up the cause.

Initiating a New Service and Justice Project
If you are interested in initiating a Service & Justice Ministries program or event, please fill out and submit a “Good Works Proposal.” Projects approved by the Service & Justice Ministries Board (SJM) receive official recognition, guidance, and funding as needed. A representative of the SJM Board will contact you to acknowledge receipt of the proposal, let you know of any clarifications needed, and suggest that you attend an SJM meeting to discuss the proposal in person.
