Welcome!
Welcome to the Monte Vista Unitarian Universalist Congregation, an inclusive spiritual community.
Francis David, a 16th century Unitarian, once wrote that we “need not think alike to love alike”, and we take this quote to heart. We believe in pluralism and that diversity adds to our community. We bid you welcome to this house of worship. We affirm all people regardless of age, ability, belief system, race, ethnicity, country of origin, language, economic status, education level, political perspective, gender expression and identity, sexual orientation, or family structure.
We are a Welcoming Congregation and offer open hearts to all LGBTQ persons.
When to Come:
We meet in person and online Every Sunday at 10:30am for all: babies, children, youth, teenagers, and adults, young and old. Religious Exploration activities for toddlers through high school are held at 10:30 as well. Come as you are; bring your family and friends.
All are welcome. Come help us make the world a better place for ourselves and future generations.
What to Expect:
Service typically includes a combination of songs, speakers, music, meditation, sharing, an Offertory to support the congregation and a collection for a local food pantry.
Each month we Share The Plate with an organization nominated by our Justice Team and approved by the Board of Trustees. These organizations are vetted to align with our values and mission. 50% of our undesignated collection plate is donated.
Come early and meet others. Children and youth are welcome in the Sanctuary at the beginning of the Service. The children will be excused after a short time to join a group of other kids near their age supervised by lay teachers.
Stay afterwards to enjoy coffee, snacks and conversation. A Visitors’ Table on the patio has someone with information about the Unitarian Universalist movement and to answer your questions.
We promote spiritual growth, community involvement, social witness, advocacy, and fellowship with others. We work together to make the world a better place using our caring hearts, open minds, and helping hands. We invite you to join us!
