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:

Can you share any lightly-worn or new winter clothing with our Pink Haven kin? Many trans people relocating here for safety are from warmer or drier climates and don't have good Seattle winter clothing. Help us fill our bin at the lower level entrance! We are especially in need of women's L or larger jackets in any color, but any warm or water-resistant clothing is welcome. Items not needed by the folks our Pink Have Coalition is directly supporting will be donated to the Trans Clothing Exchange. Questions? Contact Leah Evison . The Pink Haven Coalition is a national coalition responding to the baseless and severe discrimination against trans and non-binary individuals in red states who need assistance in moving to blue states. Our UUC group is part of this effort, in partnership with the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee, to create a welcome network for trans/non-binary individuals and their families who are fleeing their homes in order to live freer lives and, if needed, to obtain gender affirming care.

Every Sunday, two volunteers serve as ushers at each service, to help the services go smoothly. Could that be you? Volunteering on Sunday mornings is a great way to get to know people, to contribute to the life of this community, and to be part of something bigger than yourself. To learn more, talk to any usher. In UUC Connect (Realm Connect), you can see more under the Serving tab, and in the Directory you can find our Ushering Leaders, Gayle Childers and Rebecca DiNino . This church relies on volunteers, and you can learn everything you need to know to usher “on the job.” If you’re looking for a way to get more connected, consider ushering! No experience necessary.
