Who are we?

We are a spiritual and religious community dedicated to living out our Unitarian Universalist principles and nurturing our values through lifelong learning.

As an intergenerational congregation, we care for one another and the wider community with a spirit of love and generosity. We celebrate the interconnectedness and diversity of all life and work together to build a more just, equitable, and sustainable world.

As Unitarian Universalists, we offer a progressive religious presence in our community that is nonjudgmental and welcoming of all faith traditions.
