As Love Would Have It

As science deepens our understanding of attraction and sexual orientation, we’re learning that traditional labels don’t capture the full spectrum of human experience. What we all share is a desire to embrace who we are, love ourselves fully, and find loving partners with whom to share our lives. .

Our People

I have been a member of UUCC since it began and find that the inspiring messages on Sunday, the friendships in the church community, and the opportunities to make a difference in the world, together, bring me back year after year.

It was important to me for our children to grow up in a religious education program with an exposure to many different faiths and a willingness to listen and consider new ideas without fear. Now, as a retired adult, I appreciate how UUCC continues to challenge me and educate me about social justice and political issues. Even more, though, I love the Sunday break in my busy week to center my spirit and call me back to my best self.
