  Beautiful church with a loving congregation. The sanctuary has a wonderful wood work ceiling. Our family truly appreciates everything done for our relatives service.

  I thoroughly enjoy coming to the church. There is a unique cast of characters that attend but everyone is so welcoming and kind. I love speaking with people who are involved in the community. I enjoy attending because I get to meet people who are good influences on my characters. I grew up going to church. This church is more my style. I am passionate about their covenant. I hope to attend this church for a long time. I enjoy all of the speakers. Mr. Neely is pretty cool. He has a great sense of humor. I respect the way that he honored the great Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The last lesson I attended was about forgiveness in the new year. I appreciate that Mr. Neely is a humble and accepting man. He asked us to forgive him and for him to forgive us. I went on a litter clean up with them! That is what the photos are from.

  This Unitarian Universalist church is both welcoming and challenging. It welcomes you with open arms and then challenges you to become involved ... not just in the life of the church, but in the life of the community as well. I've never been part of a church before that had a social justice committee! They welcome all faiths, and even those without faith ... all they ask is that you come with an open heart and a desire to serve and make our world a more loving, tolerant place. I'm proud to be a member ... I joined in March 2017.

  Super friendly and kind people. I've been once but definitely plan to go back. They were very welcoming and accepting of all people and it did not feel like the typical church-cult grouossi grew up in. Was very refreshing and creative in their medications which i appreciated.

  Today I decided to try something that I’ve long awaited. I went back to church! The welcoming environment let me know that I was definitely in the right place. I was greeted at the door and made feel at home the whole time! The worship songs were beautifully done and included songs like Stevie Nicks, Landslide as well as This Little Light of Mine. The topic was honed in to honoring the different ages we have been that got us to where we are today and acknowledging the memorable, meaningful experiences us humans have throughout our years here. There was complimentary coffee and a full snack bar after. Including delicious cupcakes! Childcare was provided by a wonderful, youthful staff. The congregation is diverse, vibrant, and uplifting. I am certainly happy to have visited today.

  The choir is a great time for singers of all abilities to join together to make music to share on Sundays. We're always welcoming new singers! And our church has a wealth of other musical talent, too. Check out the once a month Coffee House

  A wonderful welcoming community for people of any faith seeking a spiritual home. If you are seeking common ground, if you want to find out about other religions, if you want to find others who are on a similar spiritual path as you, this is the place to visit. This congregation is joined by principals rather than dogma.

  This is a very welcoming community church that is very culturally inclusive and aware of the cultural complexities and needs that exist today I enjoy being there for so many reasons. Diversity need not mean divisiveness, with the power of love beyond belief

  This church was certainly not the friendliest congregation. Seems to be mostly about the people who are already involved and not new people who are considering joining. After filling out the new visitor card two times and signing up for the new member meeting, I’ve yet to ever hear from anything.

  I came for a Pride Link event and really enjoyed myself. Its kind of hard for me to find a place that deals with religion in any form without become extremely uncomfortable, but i wasn't scared here I was really comfortable here and i might even come to a service someday.
