A Diverse Community of Faith

We are a religious tradition that embraces many different beliefs…including yours! The majority of our members and friends were not born Unitarian Universalists. Ours is a chosen faith. We come from many faith traditions or from no religion at all. We gather together to support one another in our search for answers to life’s biggest questions and to worship, or to lift up those values that have “worth” for us.

A Justice Seeking People

The UUCJ congregation affirmed a statement in support of Black Lives Matter to demonstrate our commitment to challenging long-standing racism and systems of oppression that impact people based on class, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, and language. Black Lives Matter is an affirmation of the contributions of African Americans to this society and humanity.

A Welcoming Congregation

Religious spaces have not always been welcoming places for people of all genders and sexual orientations. The spiritual practice of welcoming is a very important one to our faith community. We work hard to make sure all people, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people, are welcomed as full members of our faith community. We strive to create a space that honors every part of our identities.

Our Stories

UUJXN has kept me grounded in multiple ways. First, I get to be around a group of progressive people, which is unique in an area surrounded by conservatives. Second, it gives me a place to search inward–to really understand what spirituality means for me. Finally, the connections I have made at UUJXN have been a … Continue reading (Former) Min.

UUCJ is a welcoming friendly community that inspires, supports, and connects people!

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!
