We are a liberal religious community that values open hearts and open minds. We draw on many sources of wisdom, and we believe each person has worth and dignity and is free to search for truth and meaning in their own way. Together, we work for justice, care for one another, and care for the world we share.

You’ll find a congregation that welcomes people of every age, background, identity, and belief. Our services are held at 11 a.m. Sunday. We meet in person at 334 Clayton Memorial Church Rd., Newberry, SC 29108 on the first Sunday. On the second, third, and fifth Sundays, we meet on Zoom. We do not meet on the fourth Sunday. If you would like to receive a link to our Zoom services, please contact us.

Whether you’re a lifelong UU, exploring for the first time, or simply curious, we’d love to meet you.

You are welcome here, just as you are.
