Welcome to

UU Santa Fe!

We are a busy place. We are interested in community rather than conversion. You don't need to join UU Santa Fe to enjoy our inspiring worship, make meaningful connections, experience transformative learning or participate in justice-making initiatives. Introduce yourself and we will help you find the things that will make your heart sing. Please visit our Online Welcome Table.

Inspiration

Sunday Gatherings

---

A proper community, we should remember also, is a commonwealth: a place, a resource, an economy. It answers the needs, practical as well as social and spiritual, of its members - among them the need to need one another.—Wendell Berry

At UU Santa Fe, worship is an experience we create together―not in adoration of a god―but rather a celebration of awe, wonder and the sacred. Our Sunday Gatherings are one of the ways we live into community, coming together to greet one another in person or online. We meet at 10:30 am each Sunday morning. Details on each week are found on our Gatherings page. We also offer an Early Bird Service, 2nd and 4th Sundays, 8:30 am, in-person.

Connection

There are more than 25 groups and 280 members and friends participating in our Community Life Groups and events—gathering variously onsite, online and hybrid. Check our calendar and various web pages for more information.

SUPPORTING those in Need

October Giving | Santa Fe Veterans Alliance (SFVA). SFVA is a small nonprofit without a website that helps extremely low-income veterans in Santa Fe County. They connect veterans with services and operate an assistance fund providing small grants, which help prevent veterans and their families from becoming homeless and help homeless veterans obtain permanent housing. 100% of all funds donated to SFVA from individuals go solely to replenish the assistance fund. ​
