UU Wellspring Subscription & Payment Plan

UU Wellspring is proud to present a payment structure for congregations and individuals that provides more equity and allows smaller and mid-size congregations to participate in UU Wellspring.

Congregational Payment Structure

Whether you are leading a congregational program in person or online, the payment each year is based on the certified members your congregation reported to the UUA. You can check that number here.

Congregations under 300 members pay $300 annually. 301-600 pay $600 and over 600 pay $900. The first year retreat if you do not have anyone who has taken UU Wellspring is $250 and is done online by UU Wellspring for your group.

We know that larger congregations often have multiple groups and their greater financial contribution helps to spread this opportunity to our smaller and mid-sized congregations.

Individual Payment Structure

 Our online programs also include opportunities for individuals to take UU Wellspring online with people outside of their own congregations.

We have a sliding registration scale. There are groups for religious professionals as well as for lay/volunteers from congregations. We also offer both Sources (First year) and Advanced programs for both cohorts.

Registration links will be available at the top of the website whenever we have open programs. Let us know if you would like to be part of a particular cohort: ministers, religious educators, musicians, lay members, parents…we might be able to create a cohort for your interest area with your help.

Our enrollment for defaults to $500 for year long programs, but you can choose pay by check and pay $400 or $600.

Our shorter programs are all $100 to take as an individual, including Article II. Note that these fees go to paying the facilitator. Note that It is only $150 to bring the program to your congregation, which allows you to have as many cohorts of about 8-10 as you like. So online is a great option to meet with folx from around the continent, but if is very cost efficient to bring these shorter programs to your congregation.
