Minister’s Words of Welcome

Greetings! Thanks for visiting our church web site. We’re happy to invite you to visit our Sunday services and other programs as well. You are always welcome here.

We promote spirituality without dogma.

Unitarian Universalist congregations encourage spiritual growth in a community of diverse religious beliefs and practices. You are welcome to explore your spiritual depths, pursue your sense of purpose, and consider your ethical questions–along with the rest of us. You are welcome here, whatever your faith background or your absence of one.

We search for hope and meaning in life.

What you won’t find here at UUSS are people who have all the answers. You won’t find people who have it all together or have life all figured out. Like you, we try to do the best we can. We find it helps us by coming together. We learn together and help out, we sing and listen, we grieve at sad news and provide caring and support. We celebrate and have fun together, and we eat quite a few meals together.

We try to make the world a better place by reaching out beyond our church walls to explore, give, serve, help out, and make our values and our voices heard in this region, in the State of California, and in the nation and world. You are welcome to participate.

We strive to be inclusive.

We are a welcoming congregation, including the human varieties of gender identity, sexual orientation, cultural and ethnic background, family situation, and citizenship or immigration status—as well as varieties of religious perspective. We build community and friendship across the generations. Indeed, congregations are one of the rare places anymore where people of all ages come together to build community.

We hope to get to know you.

We invite you to get to know us a little better also. Consider attending a Sunday service or other program. After you check out this web site and read more about us, be in touch.

Yours in service,

Rev. Dr. Roger Jones & Rev. Lucy Bunch
Ministers of Equal Standing, UUSS
