Welcome to UUI!
What to Expect on Sunday
Sunday morning services are held in person and on Zoom. Check specific listings to determine if small group meetings are in-person, on Zoom, or both.
COVID Policy
The UUI Reopening Team has made an update to its safe gathering policy. For all future gatherings at UUI, including Sunday morning worship, UUI will be masking if the Indy metro area is in "high" or orange or “medium” or yellow status according to the new CDC community safety standards. Virtual services and offerings will continue unchanged.
If you are experiencing COVID symptoms we ask that you remain home on Sunday morning and enjoy our virtual offerings. If you think you may have been recently exposed, please wear a mask to UUI events. When in doubt, please wear a mask. If you have recently had COVID or tested positive for COVID, please follow CDC masking guidelines and quarantine protocols. Recognizing that no space can be perfectly risk free, let's work together to make UUI as safe a space as we can to gather in community.
