A Diverse Community of Faith

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

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

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

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!

It has been a blessing to be part of this faith community. I look forward to many more years with this … Continue reading Snowdancer

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.
