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.
