Our Mission

We welcome all as we build a loving community to nurture each person’s spiritual journey, serve human need, and protect the earth, our home.

Sunday Meditation Services at UCM (June 21 - September 6)

Following a long tradition, we will have Sunday Meditation Services again, in the Vestry from 10 AM to 11 AM. We gather in silence. We will open each gathering at 10:45 AM, for conversation about the reading that’s provided – or about other topics of interest.

Sunday Mornings at UCM (September-June)

We gather as a multigenerational community each Sunday for an engaging and spirit-filled worship service beginning at 10 AM. Children and youth engage in spiritual exploration programming with caring volunteers. Connections are deepened during our coffee hour immediately following the service. Join us to learn more about our congregation!

Invitation to Generosity

Individual contributions provide the majority of the financial resources used to carry out our mission. Please consider making a donation to support our ministry. You can give through our online giving page. We appreciate your support.

We tidy the living room before guests arrive, and we often do the same with our lives, tucking away the cluttered, unfinished parts before anyone can see. It takes courage to let others see us as we really are. What do we miss when we wait until we’re “perfect” to show up? How might we … Continue reading November 15, Courage to Show Up Messy and Whole

2026-2027 Pledge Drive

2026-2027 Pledge Drive

This year’s Pledge Drive runs from Sunday, March 15 through Sunday, April 12. Your pledges are commitments to give to UCM during the next church year, July 2026-June 2027. We use the pledges raised during the drive to create the budget for the coming year - to fund the compensation of our wonderful staff, our enriching and enlivening programs, the maintenance of our beautiful, historic building and to ensure that UCM remains a vibrant community of care.

Climate Resilience Process

Climate Resilience Process

We are exploring options for safe, accessible, and climate-resilient facilities. Building on the work of the Climate Resilience Study group, we will review where we've been, learn together, share together, hone our options, and form consensus.

The 8th Principle

The 8th Principle

During the 2021/22 church year, the UCM Racial Justice Group introduced our congregation to the proposed 8th Principle of Unitarian Universalism. We formally adopted the 8th Principle in February 2022. It invites us to build a diverse multicultural Beloved Community by our actions that accountably dismantle racism and other oppressions in ourselves and our institutions.
