Welcome! Are you looking for a community where:

  • People affirm the integrity of each person’s spiritual journey?
  • Members work towards a fair and just society?
  • You can join a supportive community for all ages?
  • Your beliefs and doubts about life’s big questions are welcome?

If so, the Unitarian Universalist Church of Palo Alto (UUCPA) may be your spiritual home! If it sounds like a congregation for you, there are several entry doors:

  • Please be our guest for the next service, in person or online. Our Sunday service is at 10:15 a.m year round. Learn about what to expect here.
  • Most people find community via small groups and events where they meet people who share their interests. Check out our events listing and connections pages to find ways to connect.

You are welcome here

We embrace many beliefs and welcome all genders and sexual orientations. Our facilities and events are broadly accessible to people of all abilities, and we are always looking at how to expand accessibility.

We invite you to explore our website and learn about our congregation. If you would like someone to contact you, please complete the 

Connect with UUCPA form

which also gives you a chance to begin receiving weekly or other updates from UUCPA.

We’ll follow up to answer questions and suggest programs that align with your interests and people you’ll want to connect with. We look forward to getting to know you!

Who we are

Please see the About Us and Our Beliefs pages for more information about who we are. Below, you can also find a sermon our Parish Minister, Amy, gave a little while ago that dives into some of the many aspects of Unitarian Universalism and what opportunities are available for connection at UUCPA.

    • Linda Holroyd

      I found several things at UUCPA: connections between people who obviously cared about each other (many for decades), moments of peace and contemplation without judgment, stimulation of new ideas and different perspectives, joy at the gifts we give and receive, and hope for a better world and a better tomorrow.
