Rites of Passage

Unitarian Universalists honor life’s important moments with warmth, creativity, and respect. Our rites of passage are often different from those found in other faith traditions because we believe you—your family, your partnership, your story—know best what feels meaningful. Weddings, memorials, child dedications, house blessings, services of separation, and other milestone ceremonies are shaped around your values, your beliefs, and your hopes. There are no required words, doctrines, or expectations.

UU ministers are honored to serve people from all backgrounds. Their ceremonies are open to everyone, regardless of religious beliefs, identity, or whom you love.

As a lay-led congregation, we don’t have a resident minister, but we’re happy to help connect you with a Unitarian Universalist officiant for any ceremony you wish to hold.

Many faith communities say “all are welcome,” yet set limits on whom they truly embrace. We choose to live our welcome fully. One of our core Values says it best:

Equity: We declare that every person is inherently worthy and has the right to flourish with dignity, love, and compassion.

Because so many religious spaces still exclude LGBTQ people, we want to be unmistakably clear: we joyfully affirm and support gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer people—not only within our congregation, but in every rite of passage we help celebrate.

Our chapel seats about 50 people comfortably (or up to 89 per the fire code). If you’re looking for a simple, beautiful space—free from traditional religious symbols—to mark a meaningful life moment, we warmly invite you to reach out. We would be honored to be part of your celebration.
