Come gather in loving community with us.

We are a compassionate, thoughtful, and diverse religious community who nurture and challenge each other to deeper understanding, meaning and purpose in our lives. We use our hearts and our heads to make a difference not only in our lives, but the lives of those beyond our doors.

Our newly adopted covenant

We, the members and friends of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Buffalo,
beginning with ourselves as we are, covenant together in love to

Celebrate and find joy in our diversity,
Honor our history and heritage while staying open to the future,
Be generous with our time and our treasure,
Strive for truth and justice within and beyond our congregation,
Relate to all who come here with kindness, respect and compassion,
Learn from one another, and
Honor the sacred in all its expressions.

When we fail, we will acknowledge our shortcomings,
make amends as we can, give and seek forgiveness,
and move forward again in love and community.

Upcoming Services

November 15: Works in Progress: The Spiritual Practice of Leaving Something Unfinished
by Rev. Bethany Russell-Lowe

Knitters and other crafters use the term "work in progress" (or WIP, as a shorthand) to refer to uncomplete projects. This idea can relate to any creative project or process! Come explore why we leave things unfinished and why we pick them back up to work on. You might even get to see some of Rev. Bethany's current WIPs! As always -- but especially this week -- if you have one, bring your quiet portable craft to work on during worship.

We are embarking on an exciting journey to preserve and restore our beloved Unitarian Universalist Church of Buffalo. Our historic building, a cornerstone of our community since 1906, is in need of crucial repairs. We’ve secured a $250,000 grant from the National Fund for Sacred Places, but we need your help in raising the matching funds. Together, we can ensure our church remains a vibrant hub for generations to come. Learn more and help us Carry the Light Forward by supporting our capital campaign today!
