Congregational Stories About Sharing Ministry
These stories of congregational life share the ways in which members of Unitarian Universalist churches have ministered to one another and discovered new ways of serving and being served.

Stages of Life
Our congregations intentionally affirm the infinite variety of families, and commit to provision and sustain them as they grow in spirit, love, and justice.
The Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministries supports all Unitarian Universalist (UU) youth and young adults with online connections, congregational programming, campus ministry resources, leadership trainings, and more.
Marriages, child dedications, and memorial services are among the ceremonies held in Unitarian Universalist congregations to mark life transitions. Many congregations also hold ceremonies to welcome new members.
In addition to conferences and online communities for singles, many UU congregations host events or small group ministries for individuals who are not in a committed relationship.
Identity-Based Ministries
The Office of Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian and Transgender Concerns works to foster acceptance, inclusion, understanding, and equity for bisexual, gay, lesbian, and/or transgender persons of all colors, races, and ethnicities, both within the Unitarian Universalist Association and in society at large.
The Office of Racial and Ethnic Concerns provides leadership in the development of strategies and resources to make Unitarian Universalism welcoming, affirming, and inclusive of Latinas/os and Hispanics, multiracial families, and people of color.
The Office of Accessibility Concerns works to cultivate and institutionalize a “theology of wholeness and justice.” Our accessibility pages are a resource for us all on our Journey Toward Wholeness.
Small Group Ministries
Small Group Ministry (SGM) provides a format with which we nurture connections and explore spirituality within our congregations.
Addictions Ministry
Addictions present many challenges; our faith provides strength and comfort with which to meet those challenges. Our Addictions Ministry Resources offer tools and information to support reflection and transparency, and to help those with addictions, their families, and their communities along the path to recovery.
