Welcome

We are the first Universalist congregation in the United States, looking forward to a future that is focused on being just and faithful stewards of both the natural world and the community in which we live.

Who We Are

We believe in the inherent worth and dignity of all people, and we support  justice, equity, and compassion for all

Sunday Worship

We gather weekly, using a multi-platform, hybrid approach to worshipping together. You may choose to join us in our large sanctuary, or, join us on line every Sunday at 10:00 a.m.
