We are an intentionally diverse religious community, welcoming all people without regard to age, race, national origin, ableness, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, or gender identity. We embrace freedom of belief for those beliefs that are unknowable and unprovable, with our members holding a variety of beliefs about the existence  of God, what happens to us after we die, and beliefs of that kind. We share beliefs about how to live together on this planet:

• We believe in living our lives with love, compassion and kindness.
• We are inclusive, we seek justice, we promote equal rights and equal treatment for all.
• We honor individual autonomy while recognizing the interdependent nature of existence.

We are actively engaged in a free and responsible search for truth and meaning.   Note: the above is for display purposes on the main page, this post redirects to the actual page.

We record our sermons every Sunday, so that anyone who missed can listen, and anyone who wants to listen again has the option to do so.  The audio of every Sunday sermon is thus posted below, usually by Wednesday the following week.  The entire archive of our sermon history is available as well, so you can go back and browse for other topics if you're interested in listening to different sermons.  Special software is not required to listen to sermons on our website - to listen, simply...

The Unitarians and the Universalists were two separate Christian denominations with a long history in the United States, going all the way back to the 1600 and 1700’s.  The Unitarians derived their name from being primarily identified theologically as believing in the unity of god, as opposed to the more common Christian doctrine of the trinity.  They still believed Jesus was divine and the son of god, just not part of a co-equal trinity.  The Universalists believed that everyone was saved, that no one goes to hell.  A common Universalist perspective was “God is love.”  Both denominations gradually evolved over time towards being less and less creedal – meaning there were fewer and fewer beliefs you had to say you agreed with to be able to become a member.  Both denominations were also slowly becoming more theologically similar over time, and finally decided to merge in 1961, forming the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations, or UUA for short.  Thus Unitarian Universalism in its current form has been around for a little over fifty years.   Note: the above is for display purposes on the main page - this post is redirected to the actual page.
