  • Upcoming Service: Reclaiming Blessing

    July 19, 2026 at 10:00 am

    For generations, people of faith have been told that reproductive choice is incompatible with religious conviction. But another story is possible. Through personal experience, history, and Unitarian Universalist theology, we’ll reclaim blessing as the sacred affirmation of choice, dignity, and love to help us imagine what becomes possible when faith expands freedom instead of fear.

The Values of Albany UU

Unitarian Universalism is a faith tradition centered not on shared doctrine, but on shared values and a commitment to living those values together in community.

Love

Love is at the center of Unitarian Universalism and the foundation of our shared values.

Interdependence

We honor the interconnected web of life and our responsibility to care for one another and the Earth.

Pluralism

We believe diversity is a strength and that wisdom can be found across differences.

Justice

We work to build a world where all people are treated with dignity and can thrive.

Transformation

We remain open to growth, change, and learning throughout our lives.

Generosity

We cultivate gratitude, hope, and care for others.

Equity

We believe every person has inherent worth and deserves love, compassion, and the opportunity to flourish.
