Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Charlottesville Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Charlottesville building community through love in action! Does this intrigue you? Excite you? Come.

Unitarian Universalism is often referred to as a “free church” because people are free – and encouraged – to engage in their own search for truth and meaning without the imposition of creed or dogma. Here you will find a community that is serious about its spiritual seeking, and encouraging of yours. We see life itself as the greatest of scriptures, and seek to apply its teachings to the full livi

ng of our lives and the healing of the world. Add your gifts to those already here. Your presence will make this community richer still. Throughout this website you will find information about the many and varied activities and groups which make up living reality of this faith community, and you are welcome to engage in ways that make sense to you. As we say at the beginning of our Sunday service each week, “You have a place here. All are welcome here.”

Our office is open by appointment at (434) 293-8179.
