The Unitarian Universalist Community Church of Santa Monica

Welcome

You and your family are invited to join an exciting journey of questioning, searching, challenging and wondering about the meaning of life with all its mysteries, great and small. Our Religious Exploration Program provides the opportunity for the deeper meanings of life to be explored and experienced in a safe, loving and fun community that is most successful when families attend regularly. We offer a basis for spiritual development, which augments the religious growth and learning each family is engaged in. The goal of our program is to give each young person a firm ground of belief, rooted in our Unitarian Universalist principles, from which they can stretch and grow, question and explore. Together as a religious community we learn love of one another and ourselves, to search for truth with an open mind, and to work to make the world a better place.

Whatever your religious background—or even if you have never participated in a faith community before—there is room in our church for your family. For generations, Unitarian Universalism has welcomed and guided interfaith families, exiles, and seekers. We are enriched by each others’ faith journeys and our liberal religious values.

This year will be a particularly exciting one for us as we welcome our new Interim Minister, Rev. Stephen H. Furrer, at the beginning of September, who will guide our congregation in a process of introspection and transformation as we navigate our ministerial transition together. And in October we will begin renovation of the Forbes building social hall and RE classrooms. During the renovation we'll be holding all of our classes in the cottage next door to the sanctuary building. Things may look a little messy around the groundnds -- part of what comes of being in construction -- but we well maintain the very highest quality of programming during our building project, and look forward to rising to meet the challenges we face as we learn new and exciting ways of being in community together.

We invite you to join us as we celebrate “being you and being UU” with our children and youth.
