The Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Church is completely self-governing, as are all Unitarian Universalist congregations. This tradition, known as Congregational Polity, dates back to 1648, and establishes the independence of each congregation to manage its own affairs and to call its own minister. Following a comprehensive revision of our bylaws approved by congregational vote in September of 2017, our church governance structure is as follows:
