Intentionally Inclusive, Liberally Religious, Actively Serving the Common Good
We are Raleigh’s liberal church!
We are an intergenerational community of many backgrounds and beliefs. We are passionate about growing spiritually and working for love and justice in our shared world.
Whoever you are and wherever you are on your own religious journey, you are welcome here.
What makes Unitarian Universalism similar to and different from other religious traditions?
Reverend Dr. James Kubal-Komoto, Lead Minister, and Reverend Carrie McEvoy, Assistant Minister.
We try to make things as clear and easy as possible for visitors to get involved in our congregation.
Saturday Social
Our next Saturday Social is coming up on February 14th and we are calling on all cooks to bring something to share for the potluck at 5:30 p.m. Sign up here to bring a dish. At 6:30 p.m. we’ll have a game night, song swap, a movie, and childcare available for children 6 and under. For more information on Saturday Socials click here.
As part of our Saturday Social this Saturday, we will have a special screening of “Mauri: The Vital Essence in All Beings” which unveils the profound ancestral wisdom woven into Maori healing traditions, illuminating a restorative path to mend the wounds inflicted by colonialism. This movie is the second in the Wisdom of the Ancestors documentary series and is a follow up to last month’s film “The Eternal Song” which was shown during January’s Saturday Social. Come watch with us!
Join Us at 9:30 a.m. or 11:15 a.m. This Sunday In Person (Or Online)
Sunday, February 15th, at 9:30 and 11:15 a.m., “The UUnique Story of the South” with Rev. Carrie McEvoy, Assistant Minister
The story of how Unitarian Universalism arrived in the South differs from that of other regions in the US. This morning, Rev. Carrie will share stories about what makes Southern UUism unique and how that impacts how we live our faith today.
Our 11:15 a.m. service will be streamed on YouTube as well as being offered in person. To watch the service on YouTube, live or later, visit here.
(This page will be updated by February 19th for the following Sunday’s service.)
