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 strive for a multicultural anti-oppression presence in every aspect of what we do, including worship, outreach, and even committee work.

Your UUCP staff takes the week between Christmas and New Years off! After the month of December, which feels like it has 100 services, tons of parties, decorating and lots of “peopling,” this is a time to rest, regroup and prepare for the rest of our program year. I hope you also take some time
Our hard working staff takes the week between Christmas and New Years off. They will not be checking emails during that time. We’ll see you in January!
