General Assembly is the Unitarian Universalist Association’s Premier Annual Gathering
The next General Assembly (GA) will be June 18-22, 2025, in Baltimore, MD. The theme is Meet the Moment. Early Bird registration ends March 31.

What is GA? It is an opportunity to gather for worship, witness, learning, and connecting with other UUs and to make policy decisions for the Association through the democratic process. See lots of detail below.

Can’t make it to Baltimore? There will also be opportunities to connect virtually to business sessions, workshops, and interest groups.

USG will be sending delegates to the business sessions to represent our views and to vote on policy decisions that guide the actions of the UUA. Delegates can participate in person or virtually.

General Assembly is the annual gathering of Unitarian Universalists, where we conduct business of the Association, explore the theological underpinnings of our faith, and lean fully into our mission and principles. Please join us Wednesday, June 18 through Sunday, June 22, 2025 in Baltimore, Maryland and/or online for this 5-day immersive experience where we participate in inspirational worship services and informative workshops, reconvene with friends and colleagues, and explore our bustling exhibit hall.

GA is an unforgettable experience for the thousands of UUs who attend. Meet us online or in Baltimore and you’ll leave with renewed energy and innovative ideas to shar[e with your congregation and community-at-large!

Excellent Programming

GA will offer dozens of outstanding programming selections (featured speakers, workshops, panel discussions, worship services, and other presentations) over the course of five days. Programs will provide attendees with concrete and usable tools to further the work, and the balance needed to explore multiple identity-based and theological perspectives.

Like Unitarian Universalism, GA offers a wealth of theological diversity. A variety of worship choices are offered throughout GA. The Service of the Living Tradition is where we commemorate fellowshipped and credentialed religious leaders, those who have died, those who have completed active service, and welcome those who have received fellowship or credentialed status in the past year. Sunday Morning Worship at GA is a powerful, communal worship experience and is the largest annual gathering of UUs in Worship. 

Get ready to Meet the Moment at the 2025 General Assembly! We’re thrilled to share the first look at our schedule grid, featuring a blend of in-person and virtual programming designed to connect, inspire, and empower our Unitarian Universalist community. From transformative worship experiences to thought-provoking Learning Labs, powerful featured speakers, and the always-anticipated Ware Lecture, this year’s program will have something for everyone. 
We’ll share more details in the coming months as our program takes shape! Remember, this schedule is subject to change, so stay tuned for updates and get ready to make the most of GA 2025 in Baltimore and online. We can’t wait to connect with you!  VIEW THE SCHEDULE

Registration and Housing

Register HERE. For more information and links to registration and lodging options: UUA.org/GA. Register before March 30 for the lowest rate. Rates will increase on April 1 and again on May 16.

There are those who may find it more manageable to spread out their GA registration fee in smaller, periodic installments rather than one lump sum. When you register you many now choose to pay with a payment plan option to spread out your payments over several months. Registration can be paid in installments, with as little as $50 down.

The UUA General Assembly (GA) Housing Reservation System offers attendees premium amenities, discounted rates, and the best networking opportunities. Booking in the hotel block assists the UUA in effectively controlling meeting space, attrition, and penalty fees; all of which directly benefit you and the future of General Assembly. Additionally, the UUA is able to negotiate on behalf of our block of attendees for sustainability and accessibilities requirements.

FAITHIFY has a proven record of helping people get to General Assembly. Crowdfunding is a democratic, grass roots, and increasingly common tool to fund GA travel and registration expenses. When we contribute to a GA scholarship campaign, we welcome more people to be full participants in the largest gathering of our faith community. Get inspired at FAITHIFY.org.

Financial Support Available

The UUA is committed to the goal of making GA accessible to as many attendees as possible. Go to UUA.org/GA to learn about scholarships to support delegates – particularly those from marginalized groups – and volunteer opportunities (work in exchange for registration).

Accessibility 

The UUA is committed to addressing the inclusion of all people, whatever their abilities might be, in all GA activities. Beyond the physical accessibility of the facilities we use—ramps, captioning, seating cut-outs, etc.—we endeavor to take the next step: to truly welcome people with disabilities into every facet of GA. 

Children

All children are welcome to attend GA events with their parents or guardians. Children who have not yet entered high school (or its equivalent) are welcome to attend GA events with their parents or guardians at no cost but are still required to register. For parents who need child care, Children’s Programs are available Thursday, Friday and Saturday during GA. Register for Children’s Programs at UUA.org/GA.

Youth 

Attending the annual General Assembly as a high school aged youth (grades 9-12 in the preceding school year, or the equivalent for home-schooled youth) is an incredible experience. Not only do you get to worship, witness, learn and connect in a multigenerational continental community, you can get to know hundreds of other youth and participate in making an impact on the Association through the democratic process.
