Unitarian Universalists are dedicated to living our faith and practicing what we preach. Working for civil rights and combating oppression are essential parts of our spiritual journey. Our history includes notable abolitionists from the 1700s and 1800s, members of color as early as 1785, the first ordained minister of color in the U.S., founders of the NAACP, leaders of the 1960s voting rights movement, and more.

We continue to work for justice today in ways that resonate with our Principles, from protecting our environment to advocating for full civil rights for bisexual, gay, lesbian, and transgender people. For decades our social justice statements have supported equality for all people, regardless of race, gender or sexual orientation, age, or ability.

We are a caring, open-minded faith community that encourages spiritual growth and supports you on your journey. Unitarian Universalist congregations are places where people gather to nurture their spirits and put their faith into action by helping to make our communities—and the world—a better place.
