Who We Are

Our Mission

Loving Fellowship

The Mission of the Universalist Unitarian Church of East Liberty is to be a church where people of diverse beliefs can worship in a spirit of reason, tolerance, freedom, and loving fellowship, committed to social justice, enriched by religious education and sustained by spiritual nourishment.

About Us

Diverse in Faith

We are brave, curious, and compassionate thinkers and doers. We are diverse in faith, history and spirituality, but aligned in our desire to make a difference for the good. We have a track record of answering the call of love, justice, and peace.

We have radical roots and a history as self-motivated spiritual people: we think for ourselves and recognize that life experience influences our beliefs more than anything.

We need not think alike to love alike. We are people of many beliefs and backgrounds: people with a religious background, people with none, people who believe in a God, people who don’t, and people who let the mystery be a mystery.

We are Unitarian Universalist and Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Humanist, Jewish, Muslim, Pagan, atheist and agnostic, believers in God, and more.

On the forefront of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer inclusion for more than 40 years, we are people of all sexual orientations and gender identities.

We welcome you: your whole self, with all your truths and your doubts, your worries and your hopes. Join us on this extraordinary adventure of faith. Get involved!
