Congregational Life Program
The Congregational Life Team is always at work planning meaningful programming to support and inspire our communities across the country. We develop opportunities designed to deepen connection, nurture leadership, and strengthen congregational health and vitality.
Join your Congregational Life Team for a fresh series of Congregational Conversations in the fall. Below, you’ll find information about recent programming – to give you a sense of what to expect. Spring programming is now complete. Watch for New Topics to come!
2026 CUC Congregational Conversations
A Year of Connection, Courage, and Collective Growth
In 2026, we invite you into a renewed season of Congregational Conversations—spaces where UU leaders gather to connect, focus, and learn.
Each session is an opportunity to pause, breathe, reflect, and reconnect with the deeper purpose of congregational life. When you attend, you are not only nurturing your own leadership—you are offering a gift to your congregation and to our wider movement. Your presence helps strengthen the ecosystem of Unitarian Universalism across Canada.
These conversations are moments to ask:
What is emerging in our communities? What is being asked of us now? How can we lead with courage, imagination, and care?
Together, we cultivate wisdom that no congregation could generate alone.
Looking for More Congregational Resources?
The conversations listed above are part of the broader work of the CUC Congregational Life Team, which supports congregations across Canada through coaching, resources, training, and connections between leaders.

Living Resource for Congregational Leadership
Explore the Congregational Conversations Living Resource Guide, a growing collection of shared wisdom, practical resources, and ideas gathered through the CUC Congregational Conversations since 2024. Designed as an evolving tool, it offers support and inspiration on leadership, worship, sustainability, ministry, finances, and community life.
Why Your Participation Matters
When you show up to these conversations, you…
- Nourish your own spiritual grounding as a leader
- Strengthen the resilience and imagination of your congregation
- Contribute to the collective wisdom of Unitarian Universalism in Canada
- Help shape the future of how we live our faith—together
These gatherings are a practice of hope, courage, and community.
We look forward to being with you in 2026.
