The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Phoenix strives to be a spiritual community for our time, focused on diverse theological perspectives, radical inclusion, and knowing that issues of justice and equity shape everything we do.
With a special awareness for those who have been historically marginalized, we welcome all, of every race, class, ethnicity, immigration status, sexual orientation, gender identity, religious background, mental and physical ability and disability. We welcome your whole self, your family into our worship as we build a community of caring, courage, and hope.
We are passionate about anti-racism, anti-oppression, equality, and justice work. Social justice is not just a component of our ministry; it is embedded into every part of us. We strive for a multicultural anti-oppression presence in every aspect of what we do, including worship, outreach, and even committee work.

Each year, I
“Are we a concert venue now?” This is a question I asked our Music Director Benjie Messer about a month ago. Within the last year, we’ve had musicians reach out to US to do concerts at our facility, including Urban Nocturnes (which made sense because of their connection with Glenn Stallcop), Joe Jencks, Crys Matthews, Emma’s

These plants will be tended to and harvested throughout our programming calendar year. Thank you everyone that came and helped out. It was a very successful multigenerational event! As our
