Welcome to UUC!


At University Unitarian Church (UUC) there are many ways to find yourself—and we can help you make the connections for finding others, too.


As a welcoming community, we have been working intentionally for years to make sure all people and families feel at ease here, regardless of sexual and gender orientation, race, class or religious experience. Being welcoming means striving for inclusion, and creating spaces that honor every part of our identities, cultures, and spirits. 


Ease in slowly, or jump in from the start.  You can attend a Sunday service, meet up with others to work for justice, join one of our choirs, or care for people in need. Try out our Sunday Welcoming Team, one of the best ways to meet the UUC community within a role that fits your personality. Maybe you are new to Seattle and need some pointers to social connections at UUC. Or perhaps you just need a listening ear and caring companionship for a while, if life has taken a turn. We'd be honored to help you find your way here.


Dozens of small groups offer space for your identity and interests. Maybe you're drawn to a quiet, contemplative experience or spiritual discovery. Or perhaps you'd love to join a lively conversation, try something creative, or explore a learning opportunity. You might be looking for mutual support in your experience as BIPOC, young adult, male, female or non-binary. Could be you'd like to find activists who share your passion and commitment to equity and anti-racism, climate action, or homelessness ministries. Like books? Party person? Take photographs as a hobby? We have ideas for you!


UUC embraces people at all ages and stages of life. Getting ready to graduate? Diving into a new career? Considering retirement or living into elderhood? Exploring some other life change? Want to deepen your personal, spiritual practice? Curious about how to support your child's spiritual growth or your teen's maturing identity? Maybe you're simply yearning for some "adult time" while your kids are engrossed in their own UUC programs? Let's talk!

Rev. Victoria invited us to respond. Are you wondering how you might deepen your capacity to be responsive to immigration enforcement in the Seattle area? Consider attending a virtual training (one or more!) with WAISN, the Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network . Registration for Know Your Rights, Accompaniment training, and Rapid Response can all be found here: Upcoming Events & Trainings - WAISN . The Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network began in 2016 as a rapid response effort in the face of growing threats to immigrant families across the state. WAISN was founded by and for immigrants, and is transgender and queer-led, those who are often left out of our movements for justice. WAISN’s approach, rooted in non-violence, de-escalation, discipline, and harm reduction, is shaped by local context , which can look different across communities in Washington State. WAISN has several areas of work that you can consider supporting and provides a wealth of resources on its website. You also may want to consider volunteer opportunities with the Jewish Coalition for Immigrant Justice NW , WAISN's partner for training and supporting folks who wish to volunteer at legal clinics or accompany immigrants to court hearings. If you are new to this work, have patience as you try to find your place in it. There has been a flood of interest in WAISN-offered training and sometimes the Zoom webinar becomes full, even if you have registered. If you feel called to this work, persevere. Times are urgent, but it is OK to slow down for discernment on how you will show up to keep immigrant and refugee communities safe. Finally, would you like to help create an immigrant solidarity community at UUC? Contact Roberta Ray by email or in person at the workshop on Joyful Resistance and Non-Compliance with Heather Vickery , this Saturday, February 21 .
