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!

(No) World AIDS Day 2025 is December 1st

November 27, 2025
~Shared by Rev. Victoria Poling Rev. Michael J. Crumpler, UUA LGBTQ and Multicultural Programs Director On Thursday, November 25th, a post appeared on my Facebook timeline that read, “The U.S. Government will not be commemorating World AIDS Day this year.” As is my practice to never overreact to what I see on social media, I immediately began to scour the internet for published guidance directly from the government and found nothing. I assumed that since the post originated from a well-known AIDS activist, he probably received the information earlier than the general public. While I await the official guidance to become public, I figured it was the perfect time to draft my annual World AIDS Day reflection. On Wednesday, November 24th, it was announced that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, was dissolved. As World AIDS Day approaches, it’s impossible not to consider its impact on the world of AIDS. Of the many irresponsible cuts exacted by DOGE, the halting of PEPFAR has been the most destructive. From February to July, experts report more than 330,000 deaths worldwide due to AIDS-related illness. In essence, the richest man in the world is responsible for the hundreds of thousands of deaths of the poorest and most vulnerable people in the world. For what? The answer to this question is deeply complicated—and also not very complicated at all. [Continue reading Rev. Crumpler's reflection] If you or someone you love is in need of care and monthly support from a UU Trans/Nonbinary Pastoral Care Program, please visit The Woodlands , for more information.

Calling UUC Artists

By Nathan Goodman • November 26, 2025
Do you draw, paint, make prints, or take artistic photos? Do you create collages or fabric art? Do you make other forms of 2-dimensional art? The UUC Art Committee invites you to participate in our upcoming Members’ Art Show. This is your chance to show off your talents and share your work with others in our church community. Here’s how it works: church members and friends may submit one or two pieces to be hung as part of a group exhibit in the Chapel Gallery. The art should be prepared to hang on the wall. The acceptable size range runs from small (8 by 10 inches) to quite large (5 feet wide by 7 feet high). If you are interested, please register now. Artists may get the Artist Information and Agreement Form by contacting Rhona Jack ( jackrmj@comcast.net ) or Jan Hood ( janloreyhood@gmail.com ), or pick one up in the church office. Bring the completed form and your artwork to church on Saturday morning, January 10, 2026, between 9:30 and 10:15 a.m. We’ll check you in, and the Art Committee will take care of the rest. We’ll host a reception for all of our artists on Sunday afternoon, January 11 . The exhibit will hang until February 20. Plan on picking up up your pieces on the morning on Saturday, February 21. For more information, contact the Art Committee Co-Chairs as listed above. We’re excited to see and display the amazing creativity within our congregation!
