About our Congregation
We are a Unitarian Universalist Association member congregation.
We are a "family size church" with about 25 members and a number of friends who attend regularly. Our small size allows everyone to get to know each other easily. It also means that individual participation has a large impact on the success of programs. On many occasions an idea expressed can be turned into a new program or special service based on the interest it generates.

Our Minister
Rev. Dr. Terence Ellen has been a Unitarian Universalist Minister for approximately 40 years, serving congregations in Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Maryland. He also served as Executive Director of UUs for Social Justice in the D.C. area. We were very glad to have him as our minister for seven years until his retirement from his service with us in June of 2022. We are currently searching for his replacement. He still occasionally comes back to our church as a guest minister. Other local Unitarian ministers visit us on other Sundays.
Sunday Services
Sunday Services are at 11am.
From mid-March of 2020 through the end of June in 2021, the church was not open, but we had weekly services using Zoom. Beginning in July 2021, we have had weekly Sunday services at the church that have continued to be available on Zoom. Please contact us for the Zoom connection information.
Our regular service schedule is from the first Sunday after Labor Day through the second week of June.
Sunday services begin with all ages together. Children remain in the service for an opening meditation, a hymn, and a story before processing to their Religious Education class.
Our summer Sunday service schedule begins the third Sunday of June to Labor Day. Our summer program of lay led services provides a wide variety of experiences which have typically included musical meditations, interesting discussion topics, and other types of presentations. During the summer we do not have Child Care or Sunday School classes.
Sermon topics can be found at our Calendar page.

Sunday School
Currently, we have a very small Sunday School. Parents help prepare a Religious Education Program for Children and Youth and match the curricula to accommodate our small size and age differences among the young people . This is an opportunity for all parents to be involved in the religious education of their children.
Our elementary Religious Education class is a one-room schoolhouse for children ages 5 to 12. "The elementary class is led by volunteers (both parents and non-parents), using curricula focused on UU values."
Childcare is available for the youngest children during the regular program year. Teens meet occasionally in the evening for a program of interfaith study and service.
