social justice by our deeds within our church, community and the world. We care for each other in fun times and tough times. We follow our passion to work with migrants on the desert or in shelters. We support the Amado Youth Services, the Green Valley/Amado Food Bank, Green Valley-Sahuarita Samaritans, El Comedor – Nogelas, Mexico and Casa Alitas – Tucson.

Are You New to Unitarian Universalism?

Unitarian and Universalist churches represent some of the oldest and most distinguished religious institutions in the United States. UU churches have provided a bedrock for religious expression from before this nation was founded to the present day.

Five US Presidents were UUs. Other notable UUs include: Benjamin Franklin, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Clara Barton, Louisa May Alcott, Julia Ward Howe and Susan B. Anthony among many others.

The Universalist Church of America was founded in 1793. Most notably, Unitarian Universalism has evolved to be a non-creedal religion that welcomes people of all beliefs. Humanism itself became an influential part of the religion in the early 20th century and remains strong to this day.

Unitarian Universalism provides a strong voice for social justice and liberal religion. The Unitarian Universalist Association currently represents approximately 1,000 member congregations in the United States.
