2024 Fellowship Dues for the Maine Conference will be $19.39/member.   Conference Dues fluctuate year to year by the federally-established COLA rate, unless changed by special vote of the Conference at Annual Meeting.  

2024 Fellowship Dues for the Cumberland Association are  $1.95/member.  

2024 Fellowship Dues for each church are calculated on the number of members reported as of December 31, 2023.  Membership MUST be reported to the UCC via the UCC Data Hub by each church.  If you do not file your statistics with the UCC data hub, your church’s dues will be calculated on the most recent statistics filed.  Data hub reporting is done in January or February each year. The Maine Conference Midweek News, which comes out on Wednesdays, will feature directions during January and February–or go to the Conference website: maineucc.org.

2024 dues statements will be sent to Cumberland Association congregations in the Spring. Both Conference and Association Dues are paid to the Cumberland Association via the Treasurer.  (Do not send Conference Dues directly to the Conference!  Why?  Oh, the history lesson you’ll get if you ask that question!   Note, however, that church treasurers should send Our Church’s Wider Mission–OCWM contributions directly to the Maine Conference, as well as UCC Special Offerings like One Great Hour of Sharing, Neighbors In Need, etc.)
