Upcoming Sunday Service
Does Violence Redeem Us?
May 24, 2026 @ 10:30 AM
Rev. Clare L. Petersberger, Kara Tyler, Director of Religious Education, Dr. Daniel Bassin and the TUUC Choir
I grew up with stories of the heroism of a great uncle who never returned from fighting in France in World War I. The Vietnam War divided the Unitarian church I attended as a child. Unitarian Universalists are not a pacifist faith tradition like the Quakers. But we are also not a war church—believing that violence is always necessary to redeem us and achieve a lasting peace. Today we ask questions about America's faith in war and how our Unitarian Universalist values inform our own understanding of war, redemption, and peace.
Our Mission and Vision
Our Mission is to deepen our ethical and spiritual lives together as we work for racial, social, and environmental justice.
Our Vision is to be an intentionally inclusive community engaging with each other and the world in a heartfelt search for truth and meaning.
Join us!
The best way to discover us is to worship with us on Sunday morning—either online or in the building. Everyone is welcome. You will find a religious community dedicated to walking together in the ways of truth known or to be made known to us. Love is at the center of our faith tradition. Our partners in the wider community serve human needs for food, shelter, education, dreams, and healthy natural environments.
Come visit us! We'd love to meet you.

I belong to TUUC because it is a church home where I find a community, classes, get-togethers, and events of education and spirituality. It is where my beliefs are respected and we join together in diversity and peace. I love to learn about different religious beliefs, writings, and philosophies without being told what to believe or limited by religious dogma. I like that rather than dogma, there are values and goals that support human dignity, equality, compassion, justice, and respect for nature.
