Standing Committees of the Church are permanent, and responsible for the primary functioning of the day to day activities of the church. The current contact person for each committee is listed at the bottom of each committee description – each individual’s contact information is available in the church directory, copies of which are available on the table outside the church office. Members and friends, please contact the office, uucm@uuchurchmuncie.org, if you would like an electronic copy of the church directory sent to you.
