We're So Glad You're Here!

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!
