Welcome!

Expect to be supported, not judged, in your spiritual beliefs or non-belief and in your desire to freely explore that. You can also expect to be supported no matter your gender or gender identity, race or ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, abilities, or socioeconomic status.

Expect friendly "hellos" from an eclectic group of creative and open-minded folks, intellectually stimulating and music-filled Sunday services, and a social time afterward with coffee, hot chocolate and treats for everyone. Kids join the regular service for the first 15 minutes or so and then participate in our youth program in the building next door. 

Not at all! Dress up if you wish, but most people attend in jeans and other casualwear. Come as you are.

We have a lively and growing program for our youth and families. 

Kids of all ages participate in the first 15 minutes or so of our regular intergenerational Sunday services and then spend the rest of the service together in our designated youth space next door, where they engage in fun, hands-on activities designed to build community, foster creativity, and explore the world's religious beliefs and traditions. 

Our trained Educator of Children and Youth, Lindsey Scherloum, leads the program, with help from 1-2 additional adult volunteers from the church each week. 

Monthly group get-togethers and family outings, such as camping trips, hikes and picnics, offer additional opportunities for friendship-making and community-building. Our youth will occasionally help lead services or present their knowledge and talents to the greater church community through special performances and presentations. 

We also offer Our Whole Lives (OWL) sexuality education for youth. Developed by the Unitarian Universalist Association, OWL is a comprehensive lifespan sexuality education curriculum that shares honest, accurate, and age-appropriate information about human bodies, sex and sexuality, helping participants make informed and responsible decisions about their relationships, sexual health and behavior. This programming is optional and is offered to different age groups at different times. 

For more information about our youth programming, visit our UCU Youth page.

On-street parking is available in front of the church (Main Street) and on some side streets, and there's limited parking available in a small parking lot around the corner just north of the church.

We're so glad you asked! Becoming a UCU member gives you access to member-only resources and voting privileges on official church business. 

Anyone interested in becoming a member may sign up to be ceremoniously welcomed during one of our New Member Sundays. These happen every few months, as arranged by our welcoming committee, and are worked into regular Sunday services as a way to officially induct and welcome new members. Sign up for our weekly emails, or listen for announcements made at our services, to be informed of upcoming New Member Sundays. 

Any questions, just call or email us at 218.826.6553 or ucofu.org.
