WELCOME!

The Unitarian Universalist Congregation at Montclair, now in its 114th year, enjoys a rich history of spiritual exploration and social justice activism. For us, it's difficult to tell those elements apart because we find them to be two aspects of the same human, religious impulse. It's much like breathing in and breathing out.

Here members are not told what to believe, but we don't simply ask, "What do you believe?" We also ask, "What difference does your belief make - in your life and in the world? We feel that religion is about life, about finding and making meaning in it, and we regularly discover that we do this best in community.

Each week as we begin our worship services we say, "This Unitarian Universalist congregation is welcoming of all seekers after truth, beauty, justice and compassion cherishing our diversity of race, age, gender, sexual identity and orientation, religious background and perspective on life." We repeat them here for the seeker on the web who may be in search of a religious community where you might feel accepted, appreciated and perhaps even drawn into the company of kindred spirits.

If you are a first time visitor to our website, please be sure to click the Visitor's Info link in the upper left hand corner of this page. And then wander through the website to your curiosity's contentment as you find connections with and invitations to a wonderful way of being religious that is affirming of life. If you've visited us before, welcome back!
