What people are saying

Allen Avenue UU Church is a loving, supportive community that gives us wings to fly and explore our own spirituality in order to become the people we truly want to be.

Connie Cross

At Allen Avenue UU Church I found a community of like-minded people without the religious dogma that drove me away from the church of my youth.

Sue Butler

At Allen Avenue UU Church I’ve felt such acceptance for myself and my children since day one. A frequent refrain in services is that the noises and wiggles of the youngest members are the sign of a healthy church. I’ve been able to relax at church and let my kids be kids, it’s wonderful.

Emily O'Neill

What I found at Allen Avenue UU Church is a community that accepts me for who I am and what I believe, yet has people with different beliefs I can learn from; there is no pressure to believe a specific creed.

Trudy McNulty

Why am I a member of Allen Avenue UU Church? It can best be summarized in two words: community and beliefs. I have been part of various church communities all of my life. As my religious beliefs changed I had trouble getting up each Sunday and reciting things I no longer believed in. Then I discovered Unitarian Universalism where we say we believe in Love, Truth, Helping Others, and the Sanctity of Life. That I can agree with.

Dave Juers

At Allen Avenue UU Church we have the opportunity to find out what matters most to each of us in response to life’s deepest questions and then to act on those beliefs. There’s no reason to do that alone; it’s so much more fun with others.

Sam Sherry

When Jerry and I visited A2U2 over 20 years ago we were looking for community. From our first Sunday here, we knew A2U2 could become the answer to our search. Who can resist a place where you feel needed and valued for who you really are?
