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!

As Unitarian Universalists, we proudly affirm the worthiness and dignity of every single person. Our values move us to work for justice and equity so everyone truly feels that love and respect. For Juneteenth and Pride Month, your Acting for Racial Justice team and Social Justice Steering Committee are beaming with excitement to debut our brand-new Black Lives Matter banner and a beautiful companion Progress Pride banner! These vibrant additions show our neighbors how we side with love. Plus, we are proud to share that we ethically sourced our BLM banner from a wonderful Black-owned company, our Pride banner from the talented artist, Transpainter, and installed them with a veteran-owned sign company.  We can't wait to celebrate with you at a special banner dedication ceremony this fall—stay tuned for the date!

Dear Friends of Lake City Partners, You did it. Because of the generosity of our community, the Aurora Oaks Birthday Campaign has officially concluded—and together, we raised $62,070 from 113 donations , surpassing our $50,000 goal by more than $12,000. We are overwhelmed with gratitude. What began as a campaign to address urgent health and safety repairs became something much bigger: a community-wide investment in the future of the Aurora Oaks Shelter and the people who depend on it every day. Your support is already making a difference. Thanks to your donations, the leaking roof at Aurora Oaks has been repaired, protecting the shelter and the people inside. The funds will be used to complete the remaining planned repairs, including improvements to the heating and hot water systems. We will also address the failing cold storage for food items. If there are any additional funds, we will address other critical building needs as they arise, helping ensure the shelter remains safe, warm, and welcoming. To everyone who donated, shared the campaign, encouraged others to give, or helped spread the word: thank you. This achievement belongs to all of us. We look forward to sharing project updates and celebrating the impact you have made possible. With heartfelt gratitude, Sue Bennett, Interim Executive Director, Lake City Partners
