UUCSS was founded in 1952, as the last Universalist extension effort in the US, and was the first Church to include both Unitarian and Universalist in its name. We started in a member's living room, then used the nearby public school. With the help of the Universalist Church of America, we bought property we now enjoy and moved into the only building on the property, a converted stable. We now have four buildings, including a beautiful new sanctuary. (The YRUU Young Religious Unitarian Universalists, the high school youth group, still uses the stable.) |
Adult programs range from personal religion to social concern activities. Retreats and social events offer inter-generational activities. A full spectrum of religious education courses is offered for children and youth. Our meeting rooms are available for rental for meetings, weddings and concerts. There is an independent co-op day care center that rents the lower floors of two buildings during the school year. Support groups, community groups, also use our facilities. |
Our Church welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs. Most of us are “come-outers;” that is, we came to UUism from another, or no religious tradition. Some of us are theists, some are atheists, with all shades in between. We are here for our spiritual growth, to share in a caring community, and to make a difference in the community and the world at large. We welcome all regardless of any type casting that other faiths might apply. |
