You are invited to join in the programs that may feed a passion, satisify your curiosity, or nurture and support you as you search for answers, connect with others and deepen your understanding of our world. Below is the listing of our adult programs.
Some are short-term and others long-term, on-going programs are supported by our church members and staff. The purpose of our adult programs is to nurture and stimulate the religious and personal growth of the adult church community and the community at large, all within the context of the larger Unitarian Universalist tradition and religious community.
We especially encourage new members and people considering Unitarian Universalism to participate in church programs. For more information, call the church during office hours or email
