Unitarian Universalists of Sterling

Gazing at the unassuming facade of the Unitarian Universalists of Sterling, one might underestimate the vibrant community within. This isn’t just a building. It’s a sanctuary for souls from all walks of life. The Unitarian Universalists of Sterling, nestled in the Sterling Oaks Commerce Center near Route 28 and W. Church Road, welcomes everyone, regardless of age, identity, or background. Every Sunday at 10 AM, the congregation gathers. They come from all over Northern Virginia. Some drive in from Sterling, Ashburn, and Leesburg. Others travel from Herndon, Reston, and even as far as Fairfax. Inside, the atmosphere is one of acceptance. Dress is casual. Some wear jeans and t-shirts, others prefer business attire. The choice is yours. If you’re visiting, there are reserved parking spots right in front. If those are full, don’t worry. There’s ample parking all around the building. A volunteer greeter will likely offer you a name tag and visitor form. These are optional. In the sanctuary, an usher will hand you an order of service, outlining the flow of the service. Children are more than welcome at the Unitarian Universalists of Sterling. There’s religious education for children over five and childcare for those under four. Kids typically join the service for the first 15 minutes, then participate in “A Time For All Ages” before heading off to their programs. They’re also welcome to stay with their families throughout the service. Accessibility is a priority here. The building accommodates wheelchairs, canes, and walkers. Assistive listening devices and large-print orders of service are available. The Unitarian Universalists of Sterling is more than just a place of worship. It’s a testament to the power of community. It’s a place where differences are celebrated, and everyone is invited to bring their whole selves.
