Building Beloved Community by Embracing All Souls and Nurturing Wholeness
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,
I've been meditating on these words from my predecessor, the Rev. Maria McCabe, written in 2016:
"Is it starting to feel a little better? Do you feel like you're getting "back to normal" after the events of this week? It's what every cell in our bodies is programmed to do. It's called homeostasis. When the system receives some kind of shock that sends it off balance, it struggles to find homeostasis again.

Mt Airy Fridge & Pantry

Founded by two of our UUsMA members along with a life-long resident of East Mt. Airy, our Mt Airy Community Fridge, founded on radical hospitality, affirms food as a right not a privilege. People who come to get food, menstrual and sexual health products, diapers, and baby food also often help stock and clean the shelves and break down boxes. Folks from the neighborhood as well as our congregation donate food.
