About Our Congregation
Since 1954, our congregation (member congregation of the Unitarian Universalist Association) has served those in pursuit of a community of love, strength, and support. We seek to be an inclusive space, where the diverse perspectives, cultures, backgrounds, and needs of all are respected and valued.
