We are a different kind of church

Welcome to the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Columbia!  If you’ve been searching for a different kind of church— one that is accepting, relevant to your life, active in the world, and grounded in love and justice—you have found the right place. Or if you are already familiar with the denomination or have relocated to Columbia, we invite you to join us in our efforts to put love to work in the world through acts of compassion and justice.

Although having a Judeo-Christian heritage, the UUCC embraces many beliefs and religious traditions, is welcoming of all genders and sexual orientations , and, increasingly, is accessible to people of all abilities.

When you arrive

Enter our front doors at 2701 Heyward Street for the 11:00 Sunday worship service.  You will be met by a Greeter who will offer you a visitor’s name tag, explain our assistance devices, and, if you have children attending with you and are interested, introduce you to a representative of our Religious Explorations Committee.  A nursery is provided for infants through two years of age.

After the service

You are invited to gather in the social hall where we like to gather for coffee and conversation. We’d like to get to know you!
