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. Elizabeth Stevens, 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.
Join Us at 9:30 and 11:15 a.m. This Sunday In Person (Or Online)
Sunday, September 27th, at 9:30 a.m. and 11:15 a.m., “Not Today, Shame Spiral” with Rev. Carrie McEvoy, Assistant Minister
The work of anti-racism and anti-oppression is critical before we can create a truly just world, but it can be uncomfortable work, particularly for those who identify as white. Today Rev. Carrie will share her experience with the all too tempting shame spiral as she began her journey towards anti-racism and will explore ways we can avoid falling into the shame trap.
The 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 October 1st for the following Sunday’s service.)
