What to expect
The first thing you notice is the appealing design of architecture and landscape. Inside the bright and attractive Sanctuary, there is a feel of energy among people, striving with open minds and open hearts, that immediately makes you feel comfortable and welcome.

It’s a place where atheists, agnostics and people who believe in God, any God, can come together. There’s a lot of connections and values that are built throughout lifetimes that come together in this Sanctuary.

Sunday morning services
Rev. Shawn Gauthier
Minister - He/HimWe gather every Sunday morning at 11am in our Sanctuary at 49th and Oak and online at ucv.im/live.
We gather in worship to find meaning and live more deeply. Worship creates connections within, among, and beyond us, calling us to our better selves, calling us to live with wisdom and compassion.
Children have a place in worship with support to stretch out and engage in our pray ground in the Sanctuary. Children’s Group and Crossing Paths classes take place in the Hall after the wisdom story.
Child specific programs and festivals are offered throughout the year during worship and as special events. Youth meet together to build community, fun, and leadership on Sunday afternoons.
Our adult programs are varied, updated regularly and worth exploring.
From time to time, worship services incorporate holiday celebrations, multi-generational plays and pageants, longer musical performances, child dedications, and coming-of-age ceremonies.
