Countryside Church Unitarian Universalist

Best "church" ever! I put church in quotes, because CCUU could just as easily be called a Fellowship or Congregation, because it is supportive of the individual's search for truth and meaning. No dogma here, and no creeds that I have to bite my tongue to say.

Such a wonderful, uplifting place with a supportive, open community that is really passionate about giving back to our area. I wish I'd grown up in this church community and am glad we're raising our son in a congregation whose core believes include critical thinking, inclusion, science, love, understanding others, exploring spirituality and the richness of different religious beliefs and philosophies, and giving back.

A breath of fresh air in the religious community. This church recognizes the personal nature of a search for truth and meaning, and respects and supports that search in every person. If you are looking for a place to find love and acceptance, no matter what your beliefs or personal journey, this is the home for you!

"It is only when we forget all our learning that we begin to know." -Henry David Thoreau *************************************

Countryside is where I discovered that my mind and my spirituality do not have to have separate residences. If you expect someone to just tell you the meaning of life, this is not the place for you. But if you want great company as you explore your theology, then you will find many kindred spirits who will walk that path with you here. For me, faith, science, art, all come together here. Our first of seven principals states. "We respect the inherent worth and dignity of every person." I felt that respect immediately fourteen years ago when I came through the door of Countryside, and I still feel it today. It is a place to grow in mind and spirit.

“We need not think alike to love alike.” --Francis Dávid

Countryside is a welcoming congregation. Come as you are and find acceptance and a community to share your journey. We believe in the inherent worth and dignity of every person. This means that you can find a home here regardless of your lifestyle or belief (or lack thereof). Here you will find friendship and community--people who are truly interested in learning from each other with open minds, loving hearts, and helping hands.
