What a UCAN Membership Can Do for You

Discover the tools, support and community available through UCAN membership!

We currently have 3 different membership levels as follows:

Here’s some more detail about what’s included in a UCAN membership

Monthly Mailing - All of our members will receive our monthly newsletter jam packed with news, helpful articles and details of upcoming events such as upcoming training, Local Group Gatherings and our annual conferences.

For quick updates straight to your phone, why not join our Joyned News Community!

Local Network - We are passionate about peer support! One of the biggest treasures of UCAN is our local groups where all UCAN members can connect and meet with other church administrators and managers in their area, to pray together and share knowledge, resources and skills - click here for more details.

UCAN are focussing on increasing the number and range of groups available, so that every church administrator in the UK has a group near them that they can join if they would like to.

UCAN'S My ChurchSuite - our Administrator and Manager members get access to UCAN's My ChurchSuite where you can connect with a local group and other administrators, see upcoming events, find links to resources and more!

Members Forum - As well as offering regional peer support with our local groups, we also have a national, knowledgeable, network of church administrators in our UCAN forum. UCAN Administrator and Manager level members can find resources, advice and a wealth of knowledge and experience from hundreds of other like-minded individuals. Request access to the forum here .

Resources - We don't believe in having to reinvent the wheel (unless it's absolutely necessary!) and have a number of resources available in our UCAN forum.

We also have a library of downloadable resources and templates which can be accessed by Administrator and Manager level Members! With over 50+ templates and growing, covering 9 key areas of church administration. Non-members and Connect members can find our FREE resource, Recruiting Well: Volunteers here!

Training - We regularly provide area training days nationwide for Church Administrator and Manager members. Keep an eye on our Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn or Website for details of 2026/2027 training dates.

Did you know that we also offer accredited training especially curated for Church Administrators & Managers? If you serve in a non-managerial role, you might like to consider our Distance Learning Course: The Work of a Church Administrator in association with Cliff College. If your role involves leading others, do take a look at our two other courses: our Level 5 ILM accredited course Managing Church Well, and Altitude Training, developed by GiANT Worldwide and delivered by Jules Morgan, Senior Consultant at Wakeman & Wright Group.

Manager Member Virtual Roundtable Sessions

Conferences

UCAN National Conferences - In June & July 2025 we hosted a 1-day conference on two different days in two different locations, open to Manager & Administrator Members! More than 275 church administrators, managers and leaders joined us across the two days, for a time of worship, learning and connection. Our next National Conferences will be in 2027 - watch this space!

HR Support - HR can often be an overlooked or underequipped area of church management. That's why we set up www.churchworkers.net - an affordable subscription HR service where you can receive support and advice with a genuine understanding of the church context. Supported by Stewardship, Thrive Worldwide, Anthony Collins Solicitors and Keelys Solicitors.

(Our HR support service is discounted for Manager members!)

Recruitment Advertising - Need to advertise a vacancy? Check out our website here for details of how to advertise with us. Included in the cost is a year's Administrator or Manager membership for the successful applicant.

We know that's quite a lot of information to digest! If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch via email at info@churchadministrators.net

Ready to join? You can sign up here (like many of our members, your church may be able to fund your membership, as part of your ongoing continuous professional development – it's worth having a chat with your line manager, if interested!).
