Journey With Us In This Place of Joy, Possibility & Hope
At UUCY, we encourage one another’s spiritual journeys. We support your spiritual path regardless of your faith background.
Our congregation is full of Unitarian Universalists — who may also identify themselves as Humanist, Deist, Sufi, Christian, Jewish, Atheist, Buddhist, Wiccan, Agnostic, or “Other”. In celebration and recognition that we are a theologically and philosophically diverse congregation, we offer a variety of speakers in the Summer, and two Sunday services from mid-September through mid-June, both expressing Unitarian Universalist principles and traditions and in keeping with UUCY’s mission statement.

Our Multigenerational Worship Service on February 19, 2017
"The Guest"- Rev. Lyn Cox
Our congregation brings together many different ideas about the universe and ways of doing spiritual practice. What each person knows about God is a piece of the truth. Our young actors told a story about what might happen when a whole community comes together with their different pieces. This multigenerational service included drama, music, ritual, and laughter.

SermonsThe spoken word is important to Unitarian Universalists. In our tradition, ministers have "freedom of the pulpit" to "comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable." Be inspired, challenged, and lifted up--listen to the messages of our UUCY ministers and guest speakers.
Our Flaming ChaliceAt the opening of Unitarian Universalist worship services, many congregations light a flame inside a chalice. This flaming chalice has become a well-known symbol of our denomination. It unites our members in worship and symbolizes the spirit of our work. The chalice and the flame were brought together as a Unitarian symbol by an Austrian artist, Hans Deutsch, in 1941. The flaming chalice, like our faith, stands open to receive new truths that pass the tests of reason, justice, and compassion. ~ Rev Dan Hotchkiss
