Hello! We’re glad you’ve found us here at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation, Santa Rosa. For more than a half-century, we have been serving the liberal religious community in Sonoma County, since 2004 we have done so from the Glaser Center, our beautiful community and artistic center in downtown Santa Rosa.
Unitarian Universalism is a non-dogmatic religious tradition that encourages reasoned inquiry, principled ethics, and service to the Earth and to humankind. We find inspiration from all the great religious traditions. Our highest values are compassion, peace, justice, freedom and equality. We see every person as a child of God, possessed of inherent worth and dignity, and we work for the day when all people see themselves as one family. We revere life, nature and love above all other things. And we really like to sing and have fun!
Worship on Sundays is the heartbeat of our community, with services filled with feeling, stirring and diverse music, opportunity for deep reflection, and meaningful preaching. We support families and children with a rich children’s religious education program on Sunday mornings and childcare for the littlest ones. We have a thriving teen group, too.
Our ministries include a weekly breakfast for hungry people every Saturday, a speaker’s series on local justice issues, artistic and cultural offerings, weddings and memorials, women’s and men’s groups, and a whole variety of spiritual practices and educational offerings. We are also proud to be a voice for the common good through our membership in the North Bay Organizing Project and other coalitions.
Our congregation is just one of 1000 in the Unitarian Universalist Association, a centuries-old American religious tradition. UUCSR is a strong and growing community. We look forward to meeting you!
