Welcome Visitors!
Unitarian Universalism is a caring, open-minded religion that encourages seekers to follow their own spiritual paths. Our faith draws on many religious sources, welcoming people with different beliefs. We are united by shared values, not by creed or dogma.
Sunday Service is held at 10:00 AM and typically includes music, hymns, readings, a time for all ages, a collection, and a speaker. After the service, we share time together and enjoy refreshments in the adjoining Community Room.
If visitors have any questions, look for "Red Cup Greeters" during coffee hour (we will be the people drinking coffee from red coffee cups!). Information for visitors is available at the Visitor's Table in the Community Room.
Childcare is provided for infants and young children during the service. During the school year, pre-school children through senior high youth join the congregation in the sanctuary at the beginning of the service and may then join religious education classes or remain with the congregation. Children should be signed in with the Religious Education Greeter on the lower level before the service begins and picked up following the service.
We are located at 2030 Wayzata Blvd East in Wayzata, Minnesota. We are located on the south side of Highway 12 / Interstate 394. For location and directions on Google, click here for the Google Maps page.

EXPLORING UUism
In these classes, participants have an opportunity to share more deeply their individual spiritual journeys and to explore whether membership in UUCM feels right for them. There are two classes in this series, each is offered on the second Sunday of the month at 11:15 am, following the service. Please check the church calendar, the Happenings page or the Friday Update for details.
"Exploring UU History and Beliefs" allows participants to share their own spiritual journeys and to interactively explore a broad overview of Unitarian and Universalist history and what it means to be a UU.
"Exploring UUCM" continues to respond to your questions, provides information about opportunities to connect at UUCM, and reviews how we relate to the wider UU Region and the Unitarian Universalist Association. Click here for a full listing of classes.
There are five expectations of membership in our voluntary association:
- Have a spiritual practice
- Pledge
- Serve the congregation
- Serve the wider world
- Come to Sunday services
