Passionate people fuel our ministries
Community Church Unitarian Universalist is home to many different ministries. Please read on and reach out to any one of our wonderful ministry leads for more information!
Family
At Community Church Unitarian Universalist our Spiritual Growth and Learning goes beyond Sunday. Whether it be in our sacred work in Community Partnerships, our Chalice Circles, or our Children’s and Adult Education, we are curious, engaged lifelong learners. We want you to inspire us, challenge us and help us grow!

Music
Our spiritual community draws inspiration from global teachings, with songs about nature, social justice, community, and compassion. Our all-ages community choir sings a variety of music, from traditional hymns to Broadway, and participates in the GNOUU annual music service. Past performances include works like Saint-Saëns’ Christmas Oratorio and the Missa de Angelis. The choir’s repertoire includes around 80 anthems and major works, with instrumental accompaniment. We welcome new members of all ages and experience levels!

Justice
Guided by Unitarian Universalist principles of justice, equity, compassion, and affirming the inherent worth of every person, the Community Ministry at Community Church UU celebrates diversity and promotes inclusiveness. We advocate for human rights and social justice locally, nationally, and internationally by raising awareness of inequalities, partnering with local agencies, and organizing worship, education, community service, and action.

Worship
The creative, engaging Worship Ministry works closely together to set up our worship space, be part of the worship experience and think outside the worship box with technology, music, reflections and more. We take the covenant of shared Ministry seriously and as such organize members to lead worship in the summer months, assist in worship training, and act as Worship Associates.

Membership
Community Church UU Membership Ministry’s mission is to nurture and develop opportunities for membership and involvement in our congregation. We also work to spread the message of Unitarian Universalism into our wider community.
We coordinate greeters, create nametags, organize prospective member classes and joining ceremonies, plan social gatherings, maintain membership data, and connect members to our Church community.

Stewardship
The Stewardship Ministry of Community Church UU encourages joyous giving and secures financial resources to support and enhance the church’s mission and vision. We aim for environmentally sound, socially beneficial, and economically prosperous management, creating an environment where members can easily share their time, talent, and treasure.

Fellowship
We also recognize that our relationship-building comes through all the ways we connect outside of the Church.
Dinners for 6, a monthly dinner series, family game night the first Saturday of every month, from 4 to 6 PM, and Our Whole Lives, comprehensive, age-appropriate sex-edcuation, and sacred work with our Community partners. We are planning to start monthly movie nights in 2025.
Caring
The Caring Ministry, in collaboration with the congregation, provides care and support to members and friends. This includes visiting the ill or lonely, supporting those in crisis or life transitions, staying in contact with those unable to attend due to illness or disability, and assisting caregivers.
We aim to be a source of support and connect the congregation to the sacred work of care. Caring Ministry members commit to a one-year term (adapted from River Road UU Congregation in Bethesda, Maryland).
