  Don’t go here, everyone’s rude. Staff is not welcoming. Came to seek to learn about God and be accepted and was poorly treated.

  I first started coming to the church regularly in late 2022. I'd finished reading Howard Zinn, "People's History of the US." It was depressing! I wanted to find liberal people who were making a positive impact. So I came here. …

  I love the Unitarian communities that me and my family were a part of when we lived in Colorado. This church, however, does not reflect a welcoming community like we have experienced in the past. We went for the Easter 2024 service with our kids and we were directed to a balcony area that seats children. Shortly after sitting down, I was told that my kids were too loud and needed to be quiet from a not so lovely member. My kids hadn’t said a word at that point and were doing great at that point. I know that this could just be a rude member, but multiple people came around shushing the kids during the service. They did not have the nursery open since it was Easter. Why even have kids at the service if you are going to give them candy, toys, and then make them sit in the sanctuary while being quiet? This church does not value children in their community. I would give this church a half star review if I could. The best thing I could say about the experience is that the greeter was very nice during our entrance and our early exit.

  This a wonderful place to be a part of, you have to come check it out. This congregation and faith has helped me to shape a real spiritual life based in service. The people are kind and honest, and the ministers are great preachers and people. We are who we say we are.

  They gotta repent for not following the objective Truth of the Scriptures.

  This church has a very vibrant and friendly community. They are very engaged in progressive causes in our local community and interfaith initiatives as well. The campus is beautiful and we enjoy our Sunday mornings there. The kids love the playground. All services are live streamed. This is an inclusive church with something to offer everyone.

  I was looking for a spiritual home and more support as I was going through cancer treatment, some marital issues and just the general stress of life as a parent of eight children. Most churches don't align with my personal spiritual beliefs and those I wanted to pass along to my children, so I went looking for a Unitarian Church thinking that they would provide the direction I was interested in. I was absolutely correct in that. This church has not only become my family's spiritual home and a source of support for us, but there children's programs are fabulous. My teenagers are engaged and involved with their classes and the new friends that they've met. Thanks to qualifying for a scholarship for my 16 year old daughter, she was able to attend a service trip which we would not have been able to afford to pay for with all of my medical bills. I've made quite a few friends and good contacts at this church. The weekly sermon is excellent and even when I can't make it due to not feeling well or some other obligation that interferes with attending the church service, the sermons are available online within a few days to be able to watch from home. No matter what your religious beliefs, I cannot recommend this church enough it's an excellent place for families, for single people, for couples, for anyone. They are very open and accepting of everyone, LGBT, straight, anywhere in between, old, young, whatever you are and wherever you are in life and how ever you want to be. Please try it out.

  Very welcoming environment. My upbringing was religious, but I haven't had anywhere to go that has that same mindfulness without being of a particular theology since I no longer have a specific theology myself. …

  The services here pull from deeply enriching literature (actual novels and poetry) as well as a variety of ancient scriptures. It is quite common for me to leave this place feeling as though I have gained life changing insights. I can't get enough.
