About Us

The faith we live by in this church searches for truth in our own individual hearts, in our own life experiences, in the many faith traditions and philosophies that nurture us, in the explorations of science. Ours is not a blind faith: It is based neither on creeds, the scriptures of any particular religion, the pronouncements of a church hierarchy, nor the words of any single person. Rather, we submit our beliefs to the test of knowledge, reason, and compassion. Our faith aims to treat all humans irrespective of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or religious belief with caring and respect. Ours is a faith of deeds and commitment to building humane character and love for the natural world. It is a faith of the free mind and the loving heart.

Chalice Circles

A Soul Tending Ministry of First Unitarian Church
Would you like to be welcomed into a group of 8-10 souls who will share from their hearts and listen deeply to each other about spiritual matters?

 Chalice Circles meet for 1-1/2 hours once a month.  Trained leaders guide discussions of such topics as forgiveness, tolerance, and finding joy.  Members will create a covenant to describe how each group will be together, including matters of trust, confidentiality, and speaking for oneself.

With questions or to register, contact Lynn Lyle.  We will help to arrange rides when needed.

Your presence will be a gift to yourself as well as to the others in your group.
