Sunday Worship Services 

Summer Sunday services are held at 10:00 a.m., both in the Sanctuary and via livestream, through August 31, 2025. 
On Sunday, September 7, we return to our church year schedule with services at 9:00 and 11:15 a.m.

Sunday worship at Unity Church is a cornerstone of our religious community. It is where we envision and create a new reality for a better world and it allows us to come together for community and deepen our individual spirit. Services are led by ministers, worship associates, and our music ministry. 

In Parish Hall after both services you are invited to peruse information about upcoming opportunities and events at Unity Church. The Bookstall will also be open and the Congregational Care table will have cards for you to send to those mentioned in the embracing meditation. Unity's Anderson Library and Children's Library are also open every Sunday. 

If you are joining us virtually for services, please stop by for a visit at Zoom coffee hour, a time of informal conversation with church members and friends. Please email Philippa Anastos at [email protected] for the link to join each Sunday when the service livestream ends.

On Sunday join us for Finding Yourself at Unity, a weekly way for newcomers to connect and learn about Unity Church and Unitarian Universalism.

Rev. George Anastos | Chris Russert, worship associate
It is no secret that mainline churches are rapidly losing members. In fact, research shows that, religiously speaking, the only category where there is growth is among the "Nones" — those who have no church affiliation and don't want one. Yet Unity Church–Unitarian is growing. What are we doing that is different? What are we offering that people want to join with us?​ Make a donation to our Sunday offering in support of Somali American Youth Enrichment Club.
