About Us

United Parish is home to more than 300 members and friends who come from all walks of life and a wide range of traditions.

We Believe and Question

We are believers, questioners and doubters, young and old, LGBTQ+ and hetero, partnered and single, many with children and all who were once children, those who know what they believe and those who are still trying to figure it out — and everything in between. Some of us grew up in church. Some are spiritual but not religious. For some, this is our first spiritual community. Our life together is grounded in worship that draws from the best of Christian tradition and celebrates the Spirit found around us today.

We Engage and Serve

Together we engage in programs of education, service, spiritual practices, fellowship and music—that we might grow closer to God, be drawn into deeper relationship with one another and be more steadfastly connected to the world in which we live. We rely on God’s grace and guidance to show us the Way. We created and are growing into a Vision for the United Parish built upon five guiding directions for our life together:

Exalting in Worship—celebrating God through worship, music, and art
Deepening in Christian Faith and Spirituality—equipping ourselves for lifelong spiritual journeys
Gathering in Community—creating a sense of home and connection in our community
Stretching into Justice—following Christ by serving others and working for equity and justice
Stewarding our Resources—caring for the buildings, grounds, financial and human resources that God and our forebears have entrusted to us.

We are a spiritual community that draws upon the diverse and wondrous gifts of our members and friends. We care for one another while allowing others to care for us.
