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.
Phishing Scams: Neither Rev. Gail nor the UU Santa Fe office will ever ask for help with "emergency funds" for any cause via text or email. DO NOT BUY CARDS or send money. |

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. |

Community Partner TeamsUU Santa Fe has an innovative Community Partner Justice Team approach to our justice-making in Santa Fe. In addition to our continuing issue workgroups, UU Santa will partner with local non profit justice organizations with whom to build relationships of trust and provide deep support. We just finished a cycle with our first partnerships and are proud to announce that Esperanza is now a Community Partner Emeritus. Our ongoing work with the organization will continue.
This comprehensive approach will include justice actions (volunteerism, financial and in-kind donations) but also elements of worship, community life and learning. Join a Justice Workgroup and participate in this vital work! Community Partnerships are a major UU Santa Fe endeavor and we need everyone's help. We have all known the long loneliness and we have learned that the only solution is love and that love comes with community.―Dorothy Day, |
The stories we tell ourselves make us who we are. |
