The Church of the Larger Fellowship is pleased to offer an exciting new way to share your congregation with prospective members. “Welcome In: An Introduction to Unitarian Universalism and Your Congregation” is an online class, customized for your congregation, which you can offer from your own website. Designed and hosted by the CLF, this class offers five sessions:
 an introduction Unitarian Universalism and to your congregation- your congregation and how it works
- UU spirituality and worship
- the larger world of UUism
- the history of UUism and of your congregation.
Welcome In is intended to fill in between your face-to-face New UU classes and provide an obvious and immediate online welcome to seekers and potential church members.
This class not only combines our informational materials and particulars from your congregation, it also offers participants the opportunity to respond to a variety of questions designed to help them think about their own religious history and perspectives, what they are looking for in a religious community, and how Unitarian Universalism and your congregation might match their needs.
 At a cost of $250, the CLF will host this class on our server, and will create the class for you, incorporating text, photos and/or video particular to your congregation. The CLF will design the look of the class to match your website, provide you with three months of technical support, and offer a variety of resources for promoting the online class, including a customized button for your website. Your church will need to provide an ongoing facilitator for the class, who will be prepared to welcome participants and respond to their questions. The online course software sends all comments from participants to the facilitator (and other participants) and makes email-based conversation easy.
