Who are We?   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 weekly in our air-conditioned sanctuary at 11am, followed by our coffee hour. Sunday school and child care are available. Summer services offer 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.

From our Minister

Beloveds,
This week, I've been meditating on Linda Hirschhorn's sacred words from "Circle 'Round for Freedom."

"Circle 'round for freedom, circle 'round for peace, for all of us imprisoned, circle for release, circle for the planet, circle for each soul, for the children of our children, keep the circle whole."

As we look to lift up the life and legacy of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. this weekend, and we await the future of this American story that is more in need of the example of his life, faith, and voice than ever… it feels an awful lot like we're headed towards a storm of anxiety, fear, and policy violence, if not outright physical violence.

I'd love to tell you that I'm not worried, that I'm not afraid. I'd love to tell you that every little thing is gonna be alright. I'd love to tell you that we'll make it through the storm... but that's not something I can know to be true.
