Programs and Services
NAUA offers a supportive community in which our members can work together to promote our liberal values and to have a positive impact and presence in the world.

We welcome and encourage our members to get involved by volunteering to help create and sustain our growing number of services and support.
List of Services
As a new organization, many of our services are still in development but do or will include the following:
- Ministerial Service (this is a joke — make prospective?)
- Professional Advice (this is a joke — make prospective?)
- Support for Ministers (this is a joke — make prospective?)
Community Worship
On the third Saturday of each month at 10:00 a.m. PST, NAUA hosts online worship services that can be attended live via Zoom. Titles and speakers for upcoming services can be found on our events calendar. Recordings of past service are available here.
Communication
NAUA offers two ways by which members communicate with each other and share information about upcoming Events.
The Liberal Beacon is a journal offering opinion pieces, history, poems and other more formal communications. The Liberal Beacon always provides and welcomes space for feedback from our readers.
The bi-monthly Compass overviews upcoming activities and the ways in which members can participate in these activities, thereby learning and building relationships with new and old friends.
To sign up to receive these communications via email, please register here
Annual Meetings
Each year we hold a meeting allowing every member to vote on matters important to the Association, like approving bylaw changes and electing leaders. These meetings will also be a source of inspiration, learning, and connection with others.
Small Group Ministry
NAUA members meet virtually in a variety of groups based on support, shared interests, making friends, and learning.
These activities include NAUA Academy, Circles, Informal Chats and a soon be added Bookclub
