Visitors are always welcome at our progressive Fellowship. We start at 11 a.m., but come early for coffee and conversation. And we’re done by noon.

Amanda has more than 30 years’ experience in service-based roles—with churches as a youth director, a small-group leader and a worship team leader and with Big Brothers and Big Sisters. She’s also also is a student of mindfulness and meditation as taught by Thích Nhất Hahn and Plum Village, with an emphases on compassion. She and Amos have nine children ranging from 10 years old to adult.

Unitarian Universalists are “religious” in an unusual way. We value “deeds before creeds.” How we treat people and the planet is more important to us than theology. That doesn’t mean we don’t have faith or creeds. We’ve got all kinds of creeds. Our members include Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Wiccans and others. We also include humanists, agnostics and atheists. We simply don’t share creeds.

What we do share is a commitment to the Seven Principles of Unitarian Universalism.

There’s more, of course. Join us Sunday to learn more about our particular Fellowship and about Unitarian Universalism in general. If you’ve become unsatisfied with other organized religions, you might find a home here. (Full disclosure: we’re not that organized.)
