Our church is a member of the Unitarian Universalist Association. The Unitarians and the Universalists merged in 1961, bringing together two of the most liberal religious groups in the United States.
We welcome you to share not just in our history, but in the commitment to make our tradition live and thrive, to build a better future for ourselves and for all the people of the world.
We would be stronger if you were with us.
