First Unitarian is allowed 16 delegates to the GA, in addition to the ministers. We would love to have a full complement. Delegates can attend remotely or in person. They may attend only the business sessions online for no charge, or register for the full program which includes lectures, workshops and other events for $410 until May 31.
Delegates can vote representing the congregation. They prepare for voting by participating in pre-GA online discussions. Last year there were 12 hours of business. The agenda which includes the times for the business sessions will be available later.
Delegates are expected to report to the congregation, usually in a brief written statement about their experiences. Some funds are available for scholarship.

About the General Assembly (GA)
General Assembly is the annual gathering of Unitarian Universalists, where we conduct business of the Association, explore the theological underpinnings of our faith, and lean fully into our mission and principles. Please join us Wednesday, June 18 through Sunday, June 22, 2025 in Baltimore, Maryland and/or online for this 5-day immersive experience where we participate in inspirational worship services and informative workshops, reconvene with friends and colleagues, and explore our bustling exhibit hall. GA is an unforgettable experience for the thousands of UUs who attend. Meet us online or in Baltimore and you’ll leave with renewed energy and innovative ideas to share with your congregation and community-at-large!
Registration and Housing
General (non-delegate) registration is available at UUA.org/GA. Register before March 30 for the lowest rate. Rates will increase on April 1 and again on May 16.
There are those who may find it more manageable to spread out their GA registration fee in smaller, periodic installments rather than one lump sum. When you register you many now choose to pay with a payment plan option to spread out your payments over several months. Registration can be paid in installments, with as little as $50 down.
FAITHIFY has a proven record of helping people get to General Assembly. Crowdfunding is a democratic, grass roots, and increasingly common tool to fund GA travel and registration expenses. When we contribute to a GA scholarship campaign, we welcome more people to be full participants in the largest gathering of our faith community. Get inspired at FAITHIFY.org.
