    We are saddened to announce the passing of another member, Sawandi Olugbala. Sawandi was a passionate advocate for justice.

Our Stories

Most churches only follow one religious tradition, but I am interested in exploring many. Here at UUJXN I can learn about many religious traditions and explore how their practices can be meaningful for me and my life!

Kat Chambers

I visited the church years ago and was interested and impressed with their unique approach to religious community. Now, I’m actively involved and feel as though I am contributing to a community that is meaningful and helps me find the connection that I have always sought but never found in church.

Esther Newell

I was looking for a religiously liberal community where I would find support for living out my values without having to compromise my beliefs. I found that and so much more at UUCJ!
