Home Worship & Arts Worship Services

churchWelcome to the Long Beach Unitarian Universalist worship page. Sunday Worship Services are at 10:00 am in the summer. We are currently on our summer worship schedule. In the fall, we will return to our Sunday worship schedule of 9:30 and 11:30 a.m. This page will tell you more about today's and upcoming services.

School-age children participate in the first part of the service, then go to their Religious Education classes. Infants and preschoolers may be taken to their classrooms ten minutes before each service. During Intergenerational Services children and youth remain in the worship service.

After service, please join us for coffee or tea and conversation on the West Patio. Welcome.

"Coming Out: It's Everybody's Business"

Michael Eselun has been a very well-received speaker here twice before.  Drawing on his experiences as a hospital chaplain, as a speaker with GLIDE, and as a gay man, Michael explores in his sermon the many dimensions of coming out -- something we all must do -- and invites us all to investigate the opportunities for us on both sides of the closet door.

Guest Speaker:  Michael Eselun;  Lisa Gonzales-Burris, Worship Associate

"A Church for Everyone?"

As Unitarian Universalists we believe in a free and responsible search for truth and meaning, and encourage others to find their own spiritual path. Do we consider certain beliefs or paths more "acceptable" than others? How do we create worshipful experiences that are meaningful to people with diverse backgrounds and spiritual needs?

Worship Leader:  Matthew McHale;  Worship Associates:  Michael Lyde and Lynelle Wise
