Our Speakers

Our services are lay-led, and sometimes our speakers are our own church member Celebrants. Other times, we bring in guest speakers to share their unique experiences and expertise. A wide range of topics are talked about, from world religions to climate change, social justice issues to peacekeeping and beyond. The only requirement is that the message somehow ties into at least one of our Seven Principles.

Come As You Are

We're a warm and welcoming community, and people of all ages and walks of life are welcome to join our Sunday services.


Dress is informal, comfortable and eclectic, so come as you are!


Services are lay-led and regularly feature news and announcements from the congregation, a chalice lighting, hymns and special music by our members and friends, readings from diverse spiritual writings from around the world, and a guest speaker whose message ties into at least one of the UCU's guiding principles.


Children remain in the church for about the first 15 minutes of the service and then are sung out to attend religious education class, held in the building next door.


After the service, there's social time with treats and conversation.

Upcoming Speakers

September 27 - Neil Elliott

How I've Come to Understand My Faith


My own crisis of faith as a young fundamentalist led me--not to abandon religion but to explore it through various academic disciplines. I've not so much abandoned the Christian religion as reinterpreted it--in ways some coreligionists would find scandalous, but in ways that help me understand our differences better.


Neil Elliott is an Episcopal priest and New Testament scholar, the author of several books and numerous articles in NT studies, and a happy husband and father.

3rd and 4th UU Principles: Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations; a free and responsible search for truth and meaning.

Our Music

Music is central to our services.


We have many talented musicians in our membership who sing and play as featured performers, and we also bring in guest musicians to provide special music from time to time. We have three wonderful in-house pianists and a small church choir.


The congregation sings 2-3 songs at each service, usually from the "Singing the Living Tradition" Unitarian Universalist hymnal, which includes inspirational hymns and songs from many faith and non-faith backgrounds.
