Company Description
Unitarian Universalism is a religion that is based on covenant, not creed or dogma. Covenant is a promise to stay connected. We stay connected to each other as we search for truth and meaning, each in our own way. We covenant with all of life and seek to repair any disconnection, isolation and separation.
Review & Rating
Great venue for a speaker event!
They're about connection, truth, justice, radical hospitality, sustainable operations, anti-racist and dogma free.
I am eternally grateful for the community at UUCB. Not only are they a spiritual home for myself and many of their members. They are also a pillar of what it means to stay in the work for a more just and inclusive tomorrow. This is visible not only through the worship services and practices of the church, but through their partnerships with community organizations to share space and other resources. UUCB is truly not just a space for Unitarian Universalists but for all those in Boulder seeking a loving and welcoming community.
About two years ago, my wife and I were looking for a good non-denominational church to provide moral grounding for our children, and found a home at UUCB. The Rev. Kelly Dignan became a settled minister just over a year ago, and through her leadership, the membership has grown enough that the church has started offering two services. We also find the Religious Education to be fulfilling for our children, through the leadership of Janen Wright (Director of Faith Formation). Lastly, I recommend UUCB as a place to build compassion for others and to enact justice in the world.
UUCB has been a lifesaver for me. I was in need of safe, mindful, purpose-oriented human connection and have fallen in love with the people at this church over the course of the last year. Lots of opportunities to get involved with social and environmental justice, immigration and racial justice reform and allyship, and it's an inclusive and safe space for all members of the LGBTQIA community. I marched in the Denver Pride parade with these guys and helped man the booth at Boulder Pride. Last spring, I attended great workshops on gender education and how to talk about gender with children and families. As a trans man, this church's support, love and acceptance has been critical for realizing how I can be fully in the world while loving my whole self. Lots of families and kids of all ages. Really cool education stuff for youth (and adults) that allows them to explore and craft their own beliefs without dogma or guilt. An incredible place to dive deeper into yourself and the interconnected web of life.
What an amazing place! I've been to many UU churches in the country and there is something special going on here in Boulder! From the warmth of the greeters to the aesthetics of the sanctuary - the sense of beloved community! The congregation sang out strong as one which was so inspiring, the message from the minister compelling and life affirming. I am going back!
For a long time I thought there wasn't a religion for me. I believe deeply in love, justice, democracy, equality, compassion, and spiritual growth, but don't care for the dogma of most religions where we are discouraged from thinking for ourselves. Then I found Unitarian Universalism. I moved to Boulder about 12 years ago and started attending this church. The church seemed stagnant back then, but over the past several years has evolved into an amazing, powerful, supportive, growing, vibrant, loving church. I continue to be astonished at how willing the congregation is to challenge themselves to be more inclusive, compassionate, open-minded, respectful, and working for justice. Especially in these divisive and fearful times, this church provides a safe place for me to find hope and supportive community.
Well, funeral memorials are not conducive to great reviews, but, the room was large, clean and available. Membership in church was not required.
When my family moved to the Boulder Valley region in 2016, finding a church that centered its teachings around the worth of every person and invested it's energy to achieve social justice were just as important as its community. I'm grateful we found all of this at UUCB.
