Previous Purchaser Page

New 2026 version! Updated and enhanced!

Connect your newcomer and small group ministries!  

This updated version of Starting Point maintains the elements that have made it distinctive. It continues to be a newcomer program that...​
  • integrates your welcoming and small group ministries
  • ensures a higher participation rate in your small group program, thereby increasing newcomer retention
  • provides newcomers with an experience of UUism not just information about it.
  • brings new life to UU theology & history by framing it with the core small group value of healing spiritual disconnection
  • uses experiential learning to make your unique church mission come alive

The 2026 updates include:
  • engagement with our new UU shared values
  • additional activity options
  • new & more current videos and background material
  • expanded "dig deeper" options for participants
  • enhanced facilitator notes
  • time marks on all recommended resources for facilitators and participants telling them how long it takes to watch or read those resources
  • strategies of offering the program online

  • The extensive 4-session curriculum made up of over 60 pages of session plans and detailed guidance for facilitators.
  • A participant packet filled with manageable pre-session work and suggested "dig deeper" videos and articles.
  • A recorded orientation webinar which ensures that you have everything you need to be supported as a leader and are able to adapt it to your setting.
