Welcome to Unitarian Universalism!
Unitarian Universalism is a caring, open-minded religion that encourages seekers to follow their own spiritual paths. Our faith draws on many religious sources, welcoming people with different beliefs. We are united by shared values, not by creed or dogma. If you’re wondering whether Unitarian Universalism fits in with your beliefs, you might try the Belief-o-matic quiz on a rather commercial website (try to ignore the advertising) Belief Quiz. Find links to the Unitarian Universalist Association to find out more on Unitarian Universalism here.
Come visit us at 153 Vernon Street West, Manchester, CT 06042 for Services at 9:00 and 11:00 AM.
