Bam! We Are All Wounded!

Henri J. M. Nouwen: Nobody escapes being wounded. We all are wounded people, whether physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually.

Our Stories

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!

Stacy Callender

After not feeling fully embraced by several other denominations and paths, UUCJ offers me a place to celebrate my faith and values.

Eric Wood

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.
