Introduction

Epiphany Community Church, Unitarian Universalist, is a congregation of seekers. We strive to be a place where people can experience the presence of God and follow the way of Jesus without being expected to believe things they find intellectually unsustainable. At Epiphany, nobody tries to make you over theologically. Whoever you are and where ever you are on your spiritual journey, you are welcome to join your heart and mind and hands in a community that unites, in the love of truth and in the spirit of Jesus Christ, for the worship of God and the service of humanity.

That statement, in fact, is our covenant. A promise we make to ourselves, each other and God. That’s what unites us at Epiphany Community Church. Not a creed or a set of beliefs, but a promise to walk together humbly and respectfully in the way of Jesus Christ.

Our faith has deep roots in the Protestant Reformation. The Unitarians and the Universalists each began as freethinking Christian movements in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Unitarians were strict monotheists who doubted the doctrine of the Trinity (that God is three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit). Universalists were troubled by the doctrine of eternal punishment in hell, and affirmed a belief in universal salvation—that everybody will be saved by a loving God.

The Unitarian and Universalist denominations in North America, after decades of cooperation, merged in 1961 and soon after became known as Unitarian Universalists.

Although named for two doctrines, Unitarians and Universalists were always concerned with more than those particular beliefs. We have always affirmed the individual’s freedom of conscience in matters of religion, the tolerance of religious differences, and the need for thoughtfulness in the religious life.

We think that people are responsible for their own religious journeys. As a free faith community, we provide a non-judgmental and caring environment for you to think and learn and grow into your faith. That means that at Epiphany Community Church you will find that not everybody believes the same things, and that’s okay. We say that “We need not think alike to love alike.” If anything, love is our doctrine. As Jesus tells us, the greatest commandment is to love God and love others as ourselves.

At Epiphany, we acknowledge and honor our diversity. People of any sexual orientation, ethnicity and backgrounds are welcome here.

Epiphany Community Church is a unique Unitarian Universalist congregation. While most of Unitarian Universalism moved outside the Christian consensus beginning in the 1930s, a minority of congregations and individuals continued to uphold our historic liberal Christian faith. Epiphany was started as a church that would do just this. We began meeting for worship in September 1996, and became a member of the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations (UUA) in 1998. We are the first Christian congregation to be chartered by the UUA at least since the 1961 merger. From the beginning, we sought to create a thoughtful, enthusiastic, spirited, reasoned, contemporary and loving way of being Christian. This is what we create together at Epiphany.
