About Worship
Worship at the Unitarian Universalist Community Church of Hendricks County is a time to pause, reconnect, and remember what matters most. Whether you arrive carrying joy, grief, questions, or hope, you’ll find a community that welcomes you as you are.
No two Sundays look exactly alike. As a lay-led congregation, many voices help shape our worship. A guest minister joins us regularly, but you are just as likely to hear from a lay minister, member of the congregation, or a guest from the broader community. Our services may include music, storytelling, poetry, silence, discussion, ritual, or moments of laughter. We draw wisdom from many faith traditions, science, nature, history, and everyday life, trusting that truth is discovered in many places and that we all have something to teach one another.
Our worship reflects who we are: people who care deeply about one another, our community, and the world around us. You’ll hear stories rooted in justice, compassion, curiosity, and the beauty of the natural world. You’ll be invited not only to reflect on life’s big questions, but also to imagine how we can build a more welcoming, more connected Hendricks County together.
We worship across generations. Children are always welcome in our services, and we believe their curiosity and wonder enrich our shared experience. However, a Religious Exploration program is offered for children, which happens concurrently with services.
Sundays also include opportunities for deeper conversation before and after worship. Whether over coffee, during a discussion, or through one of our community gatherings, we believe that some of the most meaningful moments happen when people sit together, listen deeply, and build authentic relationships.

Throughout the year, we celebrate holidays and seasonal traditions from many cultures and faiths. Christmas, Winter Solstice, Earth Day, Indigenous Peoples Day, and other observances become opportunities to explore the values we hold and the ways these days invite us into lives of greater love, justice, gratitude, and care for one another and the Earth.
You don’t need to share our beliefs or any particular belief to belong here. Bring your questions, your experiences, your doubts, and your hopes. We would be honored to welcome you into worship.
