Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of religion is Unitarian Universalism?
Unitarian Universalism is a liberal, non-creedal faith. We embrace the wisdom of all the world's religions, and seek to build lives of beauty, love, and justice.
How do I get involved?
The best place to start is to visit us on Sunday morning for worship. Everyone is welcome. When you come, sign up at the guest table, and you'll get the newsletter and can see all the activities and events of the church. About once a quarter, we offer a program for newcomers who want to know more about the church and membership.
What do I wear to worship?
Come as you are. People come, and are comfortable, in everything from business casual to informal attire.
What do I do with my children when I visit?
Your children are welcome, too. Nursery care is offered all morning for small children. Whether you come at 9:15 or 11:00, children four and up begin in the service. Sunday School classes for children happen during the first service (starting around 9:30). Children are welcome to stay in the service with you, as well. Arrive early, and you can have time to meet the teachers and see the space.
What do you mean when you say, "Everyone is Welcome"?
All people who seek wholeness are welcome. We are Welcoming Congregation, which means we have been certified as an inclusive and supportive religious home for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender people. We welcome people regardless of class, income, race, the presence of a disability, or any other status or identity. Our building is fully accessible.
