Pastoral care is an essential and central ministry of University Unitarian Church.

With the leadership of Rev. Dr. Alicia Grace, the UUCare ministry team extends care and compassion to those in need within the church community. Under Alicia’s sure guidance, these volunteers accompany members and friends through life's transitions and challenges by offering confidential support and care.

From welcoming a newborn child into a family, to walking with those in grief, the UUCare team supports individuals and groups alike. They offer tangible assistance—meals, professional referrals, and hospital visits—and act as a caring, listening presence.

By offering compassion, care, and connection, UUCare ministries seek to reach out to those in need and strengthen our bonds of humanity and hope.

If you, your family, or another member are experiencing illness, hardship, isolation, or are in crisis or in need of support, let us know the best way and time to contact you. You may call the Care Team on our confidential 24-hour message line at (206) 525-8400, extension 22. A member of the Care Team will be available to answer messages left on the Care Line every week.

In addition to offering direct care to members and their families, the UUCare ministries sponsor and support the following groups:

• Memorial reception team
• Covenant groups
• Team UUC - Triathlon
• U-Knitarians
• Senior Focus
• Baby and toddler playtime group
