family greeted at church door

If you have specific questions and want to talk to someone before you visit, feel free to reach out to a member of our welcoming team.

First-time in-person visitor? We encourage you to get here 10 – 15 minutes before the service begins.  Please stop at the front greeter table to get a name tag and fill out a guest card. Coming early, also allows a few minutes to meet other church attendees.

Can’t come early? There will always be a greeter, right outside the sanctuary to help you and answer any questions you may have.

We recommend you stay for coffee and conversation.

You will learn so much about what goes on at UUCC from the members and friends after church. And there is usually something special happening! Baked goods and soup may be involved.

If you are a first-time Zoom visitor, we encourage you to fill out our Online Guest Form which is dropped into the Zoom chat each Sunday. You can request on chat that a worship associate light a candle for you. On Zoom, only the names of those lighting the candle are read during joys and concerns.

For those with children, we welcome your young ones.  A greeter will connect you with a Religious Exploration (RE) representative in the lobby.  All children are invited to the sanctuary for the start of the service. 

However, we have a nursery for children four and under where you may choose to bring your child before the service, or later, if they are restless. We provide a Sensory Shelf with activities for people of all ages to engage in the service.  

Children–and adults–delight in the Time for All Ages portion of our Sunday service. Our RE Director or Worship Leader will present a creative and inspiring story or activity related to the service’s theme. Some Sundays, we have inter-generational services and the children stay during the whole service.

But, most often, the children of kindergarten to middle school age, are invited to enjoy Exploration Station time. The band plays and the congregation sings to the children as the RE teachers lead them out and down the stairs to their classrooms.

Our YoUUth Group is for 8th – 12th grade. They meet every other Sunday at 10 am. 

After church, is a good time to take your children to the playground and explore our backyard labyrinth. Other families will likely be out back and can fill you in on the kid-friendly happenings in our community.

Accessibility and neuro-diversity are important to us. The church is wheelchair accessible through the front door with an accessible bathroom on the same floor.  We will gladly help you get settled in the sanctuary when you come in.

If you have sensory issues that make in-person gatherings challenging, try UUCC on Zoom. Our dedicated tech team provides closed captions on the sanctuary screen for those in-person and online.

Yes, you can wear jeans.

But, more importantly, we welcome your authentic self. We welcome you where you are now. We welcome all genders and sexual orientations. And we are becoming more accessible to people of all abilities and neuro-diversities.

Moreover, our congregation will respect your spiritual path and enjoy hearing your perspectives on important issues. We look forward to getting to know you and listening to your ideas. How can our church make your life better–all our lives better?
