Who Are We?

Some of us after coffee hour on a sunny Sunday.

We are a religiously diverse, LGBTQ+ embracing, intentionally multiracial and multicultural Unitarian Universalist faith community. In our congregation, we journey together in Love toward restoring spiritual wholeness. We were founded as a Universalist church in central Philadelphia in 1820 and relocated to the Mount Airy neighborhood in 1938. Join us for SUNDAY SERVICES each week in our air-conditioned sanctuary at 11 am and for our coffee hour afterward. Sunday school and child care are available. Summer services are followed by a potluck coffee hour.

We welcome people from any religious background who seek personal and spiritual growth in an extended family atmosphere. Our denomination has no creed or doctrinal tests. All who are in sympathy with our beliefs and are willing to join us in supporting the goals of this church and the principles of the Unitarian Universalist Association are welcomed into membership.

Our building is now accessible to people with disabilities! It features a ramp to the main sanctuary and a wheelchair lift to the Social Hall beneath. Two accessible restrooms have been created: one on the main level of the Hale Building and another on the lower level of the sanctuary to make our Fellowship Hall more accessible to our congregants, visitors and renters. CHECK HERE for photos.

COVID Protocols

The CDC has stopped tracking COVID by county. The Board just enacted this NEW POLICY: As of May 9, and for the foreseeable future, the Board decided that we are allowing up to 75 people in the Sanctuary, and our policy now is mandatory masking and distancing in the back two rows of the Sanctuary on the left side (as you enter the Sanctuary from the main entrance), and optional masking and distancing anywhere else in our buildings (including elsewhere in the Sanctuary). Please remind each other, since not everyone may know about this update.

We do not have anyone signed up yet for setup, snacks or cleanup for this Sunday, October 1; please do so (for this or future Sundays) using the link in the Coffee Hour blurb!
