Message from TVUUC, "We are brave, curious, and compassionate thinkers and doers. We are diverse in faith, ethnicity, history and spirituality, but aligned in our desire to make a difference for the good. We have a track record of standing on the side of love, justice, and peace. We have radical roots and a history as self-motivated spiritual people: we think for ourselves and recognize that life experience influences our beliefs more than anything. We need not think alike to love alike. We are people of many beliefs and backgrounds: people with a religious background, people with none, people who believe in a God, people who don’t, and people who let the mystery be.”

Written by one of the group leaders, "If you’re looking for a chill and friendly group to hang out in a space that accepts you as you are and ever will be, Hey! This is a fully inclusive and free group that meets once a week on Sundays at 12:30 pm at TVUUC in Room G with other 18–30-something year olds. We often grab some coffee in the fellowship hall before we head to our space and chill together—feel free to bring lunch or a snack (for yourself or to share!). We sometimes have visitors from various social justice-oriented groups, visit other groups on the grounds, or meet around town in other safe spaces. Check the TVUUC calendar for updates or reach out to Awan or Elyse if you want to connect or join virtually. All are welcome. Come as you are. "
