Our Mission
Inspired by the wisdom of diverse religious traditions and our own history of ethical engagement, we strive to nurture spiritual growth, support and care for each other, and effect change through our love for the world.
Welcome
The Community Church of Chapel Hill Unitarian Universalist welcomes people of any religious background (or none!) who seek a spiritual home guided by love, reason and wisdom. The wisdom we draw on at our Sunday services and in our congregational life comes from many sources. We don’t believe anyone has the final answers to those ultimate questions the world’s religions have struggled with, and argued about, for eons. We do believe there are spiritual practices and core teachings which can guide us in our everyday lives. We lift up those which have been tested by time, our own experience, and the ferment of life in religious community. Rather than tell you what to believe, we welcome you as you are, and urge you grow your soul within a supportive community. We offer Sunday services with vibrant music and thoughtful reflection, numerous classes to spark both the mind and the heart, a variety of small groups where you can listen and be listened to deeply; and many opportunities to “be the change you want to see in the world.” Join us on this journey!

About Sunday Services
Sunday Services are at 9:30 and 11:15 AM with Programs for Children and Youth at both Services. On May 26 we will go to our summer schedule with one service only at 10:30am.
On May 19, Rev. Maj-Britt Johnson and Marion Hirsch, Dir. of Lifespan Education, will lead our "Annual Coming of Age Service." This is a very special day in the lives of our congregation when our group of 14-15 year olds "comes of age" after many months of preparation and mentorship by older members of the church. They will read their credos, something even the bravest amongst us might be reluctant to do. Please come and support the youth and their parents as we honor this important rite of passage.

We are a Welcoming Congregation
We are a congregation which has historically stood for the civil rights of all people especially those affected by racism, and homophobia. We are a Welcoming Congregation, celebrating and affirming the active presence in our congregation of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered and heterosexual members and friends, and their families. We are actively engaged in dialogue about how to be a more racially diverse, multicultural, anti-oppressive congregation.
