Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best way to get an introduction to the church?
Attend a worship service. Our worship services are weekly reflections that weave together our own thoughts and experiences with music, beauty, poetry, and words that both comfort and challenge. View upcoming in-person and livestream worship services here.
What should I do on my first visit?
Every Sunday, we have in-person services at 9:30 and 11am. For your first service, we recommend arriving about 15-20 minutes beforehand. Park in the YMCA Garage on Normandy and enter the Welcome Center. Let a greeter know that it’s your first time visiting and they will help you. Get more information about parking and directions here.
What do you believe?
Unitarian Universalists believe more than one thing. We think for ourselves, and reflect together, about important questions including the existence of a Higher Power, life and death, sacred texts, inspiration and guidance, and prayer and spiritual practices. Learn more about our beliefs, principles, and sources here.
What will my children do?
We offer childcare for children under 3 in the nursery at both services. Religious education for children ages 3 & up takes place during the 11 am service. You do not need to fill out any forms before your first visit. Just show up and we will help you get oriented at the Children’s Ministries desk. Get more information about programming for children and youth here.
What should I wear?
From jeans and t-shirts to suits and ties, a full range of fashion is represented every week at First Unitarian. There is no dress code or “norm.” Come as you are, and you will be welcomed.
