We invite your congregation to be part of a powerful and communal worship experience—the largest annual gathering of Unitarian Universalists in worship. The 2025 General Assembly Sunday Morning Worship will be broadcast live from the Baltimore Convention Center on Sunday, June 22, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. ET.

While in-person attendance in Baltimore for the Sunday Worship Service requires General Assembly registration, the livestream is freely available online and does not require registration. Please note that only registered attendees may attend in person.  A recording of the service will also be available on demand via YouTube shortly after the live broadcast.

This year’s service will be led by Rev. Dr. Nicole C. Kirk, the Rev. Dr. J. Frank and Alice Schulman Chair of Unitarian Universalist History at Meadville Lombard Theological School. A gifted preacher and teacher, Dr. Kirk brings a deep grounding in UU tradition and a passion for our faith’s global connections.

Rev. Dr. Sofía Betancourt shares her excitement in welcoming Dr. Kirk to the GA pulpit:

"Nicole’s work weaves together scholarship, storytelling, and a deep love for Unitarian Universalism. Her presence at GA will be both grounding and inspiring."

Let your congregation know: whether gathered in a sanctuary, living room, or fellowship hall, all are welcome to tune in and worship together.

Check back here for updates and technical tips for streaming as the date approaches.

Whether you're joining us in person in Hall E of the Baltimore Convention Center or exploring virtually through the GA App, the General Assembly Exhibit Hall is your go-to destination for connection, discovery, and inspiration. With over 70 local area and national exhibitors participating this year, we want the Exhibit Hall to be a welcoming space where Unitarian Universalists come together, both in Baltimore and in our multi-platform space. 

And this year’s Multi-platform and In-Person Exhibit Hall is more dynamic than ever, featuring familiar groups and spaces and some new additions:

• Exhibit Hall Scavenger Hunt – Explore the Hall in a fun and interactive way! Complete the hunt and earn a "prize" while discovering exhibitors you might have otherwise missed. (Both an in-person and online version will be available)
• Custom Lounges – Need a moment to rest? Recharge your phone and your spirit in one of several cozy lounges scattered throughout the space—perfect spots to reflect, connect, or simply relax.
• Local Area Exhibitors Spotlight – Celebrate the vibrant local community with tables highlighting regional organizations and artisans making an impact close to home. 

You'll also find our wider UU connected exhibitors and national vendors, including:

• Social justice and advocacy groups
• Theological schools and seminaries
• UU professional associations
• Vendors with unique merchandise

For in-person attendees, there’s even more including daily lunch menus and refreshments, meet-up tables to gather, author signings, and engaging presentations on the inSpirit Learning Stage. 

New this year, we also have an Exhibitor Spotlight, an evening before the bulk of GA programming begins, allowing you time to explore. Stroll through booths, meet representatives from UU organizations, and encounter old friends. And, a few other surprises and fun opportunities that will be announced a little closer to GA.

Washington, D.C. | June 16–17, 2025

Speak justice in the language of your faith—UU Hill Day 2025 is your chance to raise your voice on Capitol Hill for human dignity, climate justice, and democracy.

As harmful policies take root under the new Trump administration—threatening immigrant communities, curbing freedoms, and slashing essential services—we know that silence is not an option. This June, ahead of General Assembly, we’re joining forces with UUs for Social Justice, UU Ministry for Earth, and our wider UU community to show up, speak out, and live our values.

Hill Day includes online advocacy trainings in May and June to help you feel confident and prepared, whether you're new to this or a seasoned advocate. When we gather in D.C. on June 16, we’ll connect over a working dinner, review key messages, and get ready to meet face-to-face with Congressional offices the next day. We’ll close with an open-air vigil and debrief, grounding ourselves in community and purpose.

Now is the moment. Register today to be part of this powerful, faithful call for justice.

Questions? Reach out to advocacy@uusc.org

Let’s show up with love. Let’s take action for justice. See you in D.C.!

Meet the Moment: Experience the Energy

Worship that lifts your spirit. Workshops that spark transformation. Conversations that change lives. General Assembly crackles with energy — the kind that comes when thousands of UUs gather with open hearts and bold dreams. It’s a time to deepen our faith, recharge our spirits, and be together in our shared commitment to justice. Whether you're showing up in Baltimore or tuning in from home, you’ll feel the power of community from soul-stirring worship to eye-opening workshops to hallway chats that stay with you long after GA ends. This is where faith comes alive. Don’t miss the magic — register today!

As you turn toward what comes next, may you carry with you a piece of the spirit that connects us all.

“Comfort Me, O My Soul” by Mimi Bornstein

This powerful hymn of resilience and hope was performed at the 2017 General Assembly Sunday Service by Rev. Dr. Sofía Betancourt and the GA choir. Let it be a balm. Let it be a call.
