A Unitarian Universalist congregation is an intentional form of human community, where the relationship among members has a very special character.
Our fellow congregants are sometimes like co-workers, sometimes like friends, sometimes like family. We’re like co-workers when we’re serving our community, presenting events, feeding hungry folk, or teaching about liberal faith.
We’re like friends when we’re worshiping together, playing together, exploring our lives together and challenging each other to expand our spiritual horizons. And we’re like family when we’re deeply caring for each other by reaching out with cards and visits, sharing our joys and sorrows, attending to the passages of life, or simply sitting around the table for good food and conversation. I feel very grateful to be the minister, as well as a member, of this strong and growing congregation. We welcome you, and look forward to sharing the dreams of our community with you.
We invite you to explore our website, learning more about Unitarian Universalism, our congregation’s history and worship services, and why we’re proud to be known as a "Welcoming Congregation".

Winner's Choice
Each fall, we hold a Service Auction fundraiser to benefit church programs. Among the many generous services donated, one of the most popular from Rev. Chris: the winning bidder gets to challenge him with their choice of original sermon topic. You can listen to the result of last year's challenge, "The Tapestry of Our Lives", better known as the "Star Trek sermon". It's a thoughtful look at regret, and the disparate threads that weave one's life together.
Volunteers Needed
Want to see and hear more sermons online? We do too! You can make it happen by volunteering as little as an hour a month as a transcriber or proofreader. Contact the web team today. No special skills/equipment are needed — only your enthusiasm for helping people discover what UU is all about.
