Who We Are

Branding
Our religious community welcomes everyone who is searching for a spiritual home that is guided by respect, love, reason and conscience. We are a member congregation of the Unitarian Universalist Association. The opening words of our Affirmation (covenant) summarize the role of UU Church in the Pines in our lives:  “Love is the spirit of this church and Service is it’s law.”  Unitarian Universalist congregations covenant to gather together around shared values, expectations, and commitments. We make promises to each other about how we will be in relationship together. We do this recognizing that as human beings we make, keep, break, and must renew covenants. READ MORE

Social growth – connecting with peers and people of all ages on a deeper level. Finding acceptance among people who see beyond the superficial. Spiritual growth – feeling a connection with the sacred within, among, and beyond us. READ MORE
