New to UBB?

---

If you are looking for a loving spiritual community, you’ve come to the right place! The UBB community is made up of people, like yourself, who have been led to Unity by Spirit. We are all on a spiritual journey to become all that we were created to be. In Unity we don’t tell people what to think; rather, we offer tools you can use to create a life of meaning and purpose. This is an exciting time of positive, empowering transformation!

Unity welcomes people of all religious backgrounds and beliefs, all creeds, sexual orientations, and social backgrounds. We make no exceptions!

We invite you to join us in person for our Sunday morning services, classes, and special events. Our services are livestreamed and many of our classes are offered via Zoom, so you have the option of joining us from the comfort of your home or while you are traveling. In whatever way you choose to connect with UBB, a warm welcome awaits you, and we’ll support you in making meaningful connections within our community.

We understand the uncertainty that often comes with entering a place for the first time, so we offer these words to help smooth the way for your first service at Unity by the Bay.

Dress is casual. Some of us wear comfortable business attire; many prefer jeans or shorts and sandals.

Arriving

You can park in any of our three parking areas. In the first area on the left as you come up the hill, spaces are marked for those who prefer a short walk (without stairs) to our sanctuary.

When you enter the double doors on the lower level, a greeter will welcome you and show you the way to the sanctuary. Ushers will meet you at the double-door entrance.

Meditative music starts at 10:15 on Sunday morning, so please enter the sanctuary quietly. The service begins at 10:30.

Our Sunday services are centered on music, message, and meditation. Music is provided by talented congregants and guest musicians and sometimes we use recorded music. The words for our congregational songs are projected on the front wall. Our minister or guest speaker brings us an inspiring message and then leads us in a guided meditation that lasts 3 to 5 minutes. We conclude our services by moving into a large circle and singing a closing song. 

Children

We find great joy in the energy and enthusiasm of children! Parents and children who prefer to sit together during our Sunday services are certainly welcome to do so. An “activities” table is located at the back of the sanctuary, where children can read, color pages in a coloring book, or use pens and crayons to make their own creations. A seating area is available upstairs, on the second floor overlooking the sanctuary, where parents can be with their children while continuing to see and hear the morning service. 

Social Time

Our congregants and guests enjoy conversations and connections after our services. Periodically, our Hospitality Team provides coffee and light refreshments in the fellowship hall. This social time gives you the chance to meet others, ask questions, and pick up information about upcoming events and ongoing activities within our spiritual community.
