Fellowship & Fun

The Unitarian Universalist Church of Akron is a community of friendship and fun. Through a wide variety of fellowship opportunities and social activities, our members develop connections that bring meaning, hope, and whole lot of laughter and fun to their lives.

Fellowship Hour on Sunday mornings is one of our most popular opportunities for connection and community. Held in our beautiful Fellowship Hall, “Coffee Hour” often features delicious food prepared in our state-of- the-art kitchen, a special “visitors’ table” for those who are new to our community, a UUCA book table, and other tables and displays with information about important opportunities to get involved both within and beyond the walls of our congregation.

Fellowship at the UU Church of Akron is wide-ranging and very family-friendly. We organize special events designed for all ages, including our all church potlucks, a Ground Hog Day Beach Party with indoor volleyball, a mid-December holiday dinner, and the annual church picnic at Sand Run Metro Park.

If you would like to learn more or experience how fun and friendly our church community is, please contact the church office or join us for a worship service on Sunday morning.

Akron Young AdUUlts

Are you between the ages of 18 and 35? Are you looking for a community of people who share your life experiences and challenges - a community of love and acceptance where you can relax, have fun, grow, and make a difference in the world?

We are a group of young adults in the Akron area between the ages of 18 and 35. We get together regularly to talk, to share meals, to have fun, and to experience the joy of connecting with others our own age.

The Young AdUUlts group has no test of faith or creed. Instead, we are rooted in the core Unitarian Universalist values of love, acceptance, and freedom. Whoever you are and wherever you are on your journey through young adulthood, you are welcome!

If you have questions or are interested in joining us, please contact Halley Cooper-Shumway or Ris Anderson
