What we’re about
We are a lay-led spiritual community organized around shared values rather than shared beliefs. We offer reverent services, stimulating learning, social activism, and welcoming community. The Unitarian Universalist Principles guide and fulfill our fellowship throughout it’s journey. Welcome!
Who may join?
All are welcome. There’s no belief test. Unitarians are organized around shared values of the worth and dignity of all people, the wisdom of the shared stories of civilization and free inquiry.
We embrace diversity. All races, sexualities, nationalities, spiritualities and abilities, are greeted with open arms.
Your first visit
Check us out by attending a service either online or in person, any Sunday. Our service begins at 11:00 am, but all are welcome for fellowship beginning at 10:30 am.
What to expect on your first visit:
- People will be happy to see you. You’ll be welcomed.
- You don’t have to speak or sing.
- Dress is casual, though if you feel like spiffing up, please feel free to do so.
- Generally a group go out to lunch after the service. Please join us.
- On the second Sunday of each month, we have a potluck meal at the church (with some exceptions — confirm on event listing on home page). Everyone is invited. There’s generally no shortage of food, so don’t feel you have to bring something if it would be a hardship or an inconvenience.
A typical service
We have fellowship, with coffee and light snacks, beginning at 10:30 am and the service begins at 11:00 am. The service will consist of music, singing and readings. The sermon is either a recorded sermon or is read by a member.
Unitarian congregations vary in their degree of churchiness. Our congregation focuses on how to be a good person and living a purposeful life.
Parking
Park in the gravel lot directly in front of the church, not in the Domino’s Pizza lot. If the lot is full, there’s some street parking on side streets, e.g. on General Gardner Avenue, one block SE.
Child Care
If attending the service isn’t a good fit for them, children may attend a Religious Education session in a separate room. The “RE” sessions are light on instruction and more oriented to play and art. The children rejoin the congregation for a closing song.
