Starting Point​

Connect your newcomer and small group ministries!  

​Why give people an organization to join when you could give them a path to pursue? 
​

Starting Point is a different kind of 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

Most "New to UU" classes orient newcomers toward membership and focus on downloading information. Starting Point takes a different tack. It orients newcomers toward small group participation and offers an experience of UUism, not just information about it. We know that newcomers who find a home in a small group stay and experience deeper transformation than those who don't. Starting Point is the first step on that path to deeper connection.
