Meet the Staff and Volunteers

 

Join a committee - or try us out for a special, one-time project. Whether your talents are for pruning trees, greeting visitors, singing in the intergenerational choir, hosting an event, or something entirely new, they'll be welcome additions to our First UU committees.

We hope you will take the opportunity to check out all the programs of our congregation. Then, we hope to see you on Sunday morning or at one of our activities.

We are proud to promote and represent a long tradition of liberal religion here in Kansas. Our continental movement is growing and we hope to see growth in Wichita also. Our church is a Welcoming Congregation open to all who enter regardless. Our services vary from Sunday to Sunday and we urge you to attend 3 or 4 times in order to experience the diversity not only of our worship services but of our congregation. We believe many are looking for what we have offer: acceptance, support by a caring community, opportunities for involvement, and a safe place to work on your individual spiritual path.

"Enter, rejoice and come in!"
