We have been a congregation of progressive spiritual voices in Lancaster County for over 100 years. We seek to be an inclusive spiritual community coming together in love and reaching out in service.

Unitarian Universalism is based on covenant and deeds, not creeds. This church was founded in 1902 by M.T. Garvin who had this Gothic-style building constructed in 1908, designed by prominent architect, C. Emlen Urban on the current site. Garvin imported stained glass, wood carvings, and unique interior art for the Sanctuary embellishment which we proudly preserve today. The Education Building was built in 1972.

Does this intrigue you? Excite you? Come. Add your gifts to those already here. Your presence will make this community richer still. Throughout this website, you will find information about the activities and groups which make up our faith community. You are welcome to engage in the ways that mean the most to you!

Our purpose is not to tell you who to be or what to believe, but to help each of us to find greater meaning in our lives. We have no creeds. We believe in the intrinsic worth of all people and in life’s creative power. We offer a community of faith that reveres the interconnected web of all life, and that calls on us to work to make a difference in the world.

We are a church of progressive spiritual tradition and heritage, one with ancient and deep roots. We are a diverse community that encourages spiritual growth and the practice of our beliefs through active involvement in the church and in the world. We are a religious community embracing a common faith expressed by our commitment to the eight principles.
