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!


We Welcome Your Curiosity

To learn more about UUC, Unitarian Universalism, and how to enter this large congregation, join one of our friendly and knowledgeable Connections volunteers at a UUC Info Session.  Info Sessions are held each week after either Sunday service, in the Dix Room on the lower floor (parking lot level).  Bring your coffee and your curiosity!  In the meantime, click the buttons below to:

Starting this Sunday, May 17, the UUC Bookstore will be moving to a donation-based system. Why are we changing our system? By offering books on a donation basis, UUC lives into its values of equity and justice by reducing economic barriers to literature. We want everyone in our community to have access to the books in the bookstore, regardless of socio-economic status. How will it work? When you go to the UUC Bookstore to get a book, you will select the book you want and tell the bookstore volunteer which title(s) you are taking. It's as easy as that! If you have the means, we encourage you to donate cover price. This will help cover books for folks who cannot donate as much. How do I donate? Donations can be made using the donation box in the bookstore, the offering plate during Sunday services, text-to-donate, or using the giving link on our website. All donations are gratefully received. Will this cost UUC money? No, UUC will actually be saving money by letting go of the credit card machine in the bookstore. If you have any questions, or would like to volunteer on Sunday mornings in the bookstore, please email morgan.sherwood@uuchurch.org .
