Connect through our many Community Groups!
One of the most important and rewarding aspects of joining a church is getting to know other people and building friendships in small group settings. You are warmly invited to check out any of the small groups that interest you. We would love to have you!
From book clubs to garden groups to soulful connections, there’s a place for you here at the Unitarian Church in Charleston. Check out one of the regularly meeting community groups listed below.
Meeting times and locations are subject to change: be sure to subscribe to the Weekly Gateway to be notified of changes. You can find full details on the Calendar of Events.
Many groups go on summer hiatus. Most groups restart by mid-September. Feel free to reach out to Danielle Lopez if you have any questions at danielle@charlestonuu.org.
