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

July 13: Generosity Creates This
by Christine Slocum

You come to church, you sit in the pews, and you participate in worship. However, have you ever wondered how all of this - the service, the building, the activities, and the rest of it - comes together? It wasn’t until I joined the Board that I started to see in vivid detail how every facet of the church’s existence is covered in the fingerprints of people who love this place very much. Our church is a demonstration of how we live one of our UU values, generosity. Let’s talk about some of the beautiful specifics.

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 you 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!
