Welcome!

Unitarian Universalists search for truth along many paths. Instead of centering our religion on specific beliefs, we gather around shared moral values that include the inherent worth and dignity of every person.

Join us! We are located at 624 North Broadway in Saratoga Springs, NY. Our Sunday services are at 10 a.m. Religious education is available for children in grades K–12, with nursery care provided for children not yet in kindergarten.

Please visit our visitors page for more information.

This Week’s Meditation

What is divinity if it can come only in silent shadows and in dreams? Shall she not find in comforts of the sun, in pungent fruit and bright, green wings, or else in any balm or beauty of the earth, things to be cherished like the thought of heaven?

Divinity must live within herself: passions of rain, or moods in falling snow; grieving in loneliness, or unsubdued elations when the forest blooms; gusty emotions on wet roads on autumn nights; all pleasures and all pains, remembering the bough of summer and the winter branch. These are the measures destined for her soul.

—Wallace Stevens
