Worship Leaders at General Assembly

Worship Leaders

Each year, General Assembly (GA) attendees enjoy some the best worship experiences the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) has to offer, from award-winning sermons to rousing celebrations of spirit and song.

The UUA Administration, GA Planning Committee, as well as the Unitarian Universalist Ministers Association (UUMA) and others extend invitations to our ministers and lay leaders, as well as interfaith leaders, to preach at General Assembly.

Those interested in Youth and Young Adult worship leadership and chaplaincy positions can apply through the Lifespan Faith Engagement Office (LiFE). Young Adults at General Assembly and General Assembly Youth have open application processes for worship coordinators of their respective caucuses. These youth and young adult worship leaders also help plan the Synergy worship service and often invite other youth and young adults to be participants, speakers, and more.

Numerous sermon awards and scholarships are available, from the UUMA, Commission on Social Witness (CSW), Interweave, and others.
