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

Gardening workparty on Saturday, June 20, 10 a.m.–2 p.m. at UUC - come when you can UUC has partnered with Teen Feed for over 20 years, with volunteers preparing 18 meals over the course of each year for teens who are facing food insecurity. May's Faith in Action built upon this long-term relationship and Teen Feed's mission to meet unhoused teens where they are. Each night, starting with a warm meal, Teen Feed creates a space where these teens can get help with basic needs and identify ways to build a more stable future. May 30 Faith in Action: Sixteen youth and families gathered to create personal hygiene/first aid kits to distribute to unhoused youth at Teen Feed. Many more from the congregation donated tooth brushes, travel-size soaps, lotion, lip balm, sunscreen and other essentials. At this event, led by several of our youth in concert with our Family Ministry program, there was an assembly line to create the kits and decorate bins for additional items teen could choose. June 7 Teen Feed Meal: UUC's Meal Team prepared and served the meal—healthy and fun with lots of choices, including three kinds of burritos, salad, fresh fruit and a dessert buffet. Our UUC team of eighteen on-site and six at-home bakers comprised folks of all ages, including eight youth and children. And, UUC youth helped organize distribution of the hygiene kits at Teen Feed too! We will continue to build upon our partnership with Teen Feed this summer by creating a Community-Serving Garden at UUC with the harvest to be used by the Teen Feed meal teams. Join us on June 20 to fill containers and plant the plants! Click here for more information .
