Welcome!

Unity Church-Unitarian is a vibrant intergenerational congregation grounded in the history and heritage of liberal religion.  Our shared ministry enlists the whole church family in living out the values we proclaim. ​Unity Church-Unitarian honors the ambiguity and uncertainty in the search for greater truth, meaning, and equity. In all we do, we strive to embody wonder, open-hearted engagement, and courageous action. ​The mission of Unity Church is to foster transformation through a free and inclusive religious community that encourages lives of integrity, service, and joy.
