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!

May's Second Sunday Plate collection will be going to the Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network (WAISN) . Your generosity funds UUC’s partnership with WAISN, a relationship that began shortly after it was founded in 2017. This coalition of immigrant-led organizations and individuals are working together to advance the rights, dignity and power of immigrants and refugees in Washington. As Roberta Ray shared in her introduction of last Sunday's plate collection, "WAISN organizes from a place of abundance and commits to intersectional, multifaith, intergenerational, multi-lingual, multiracial, multiethnic immigrant-led efforts by investing in and growing the leadership of forced migrants." There are over 1.2 million immigrants and 30,000 refugees in our state, and the daily attacks on these communities makes supporting WAISN even more critical. Our congregation's commitment to immigrant justice began over four decades ago, including when UUC declared itself a sanctuary church for immigrants and refugees from Central America in 1985. Our partnership with WAISN solidifies our commitment to defending immigrant communities from deportation while advocating for meaningful, systemic change at the State legislative level . You can still add your "Second Sunday" donation to benefit WAISN through Tuesday, June 2 . Give online —select "Special Plate Collection" from the drop-down menu and enter "WAISN May Plate" in the memo line. You may give online today, in the coming days or on Sunday, May 17. Drop off a check made out to UUC in the office, with the memo note "WAISN May Plate."
