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.

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!

Buffalo Immigrant Leadership Team

BILT’s refugee and immigrant leaders learn to identify and directly address the issues that have shaped their lives, and to effect change by acting collectively in the public arena. They learn to hold intentional, one-to-one conversations, and to form teams of people committed to creating policy changes that will enable Buffalo’s refugee and immigrant communities to thrive.

These teams of leaders conduct Research Meetings with elected officials and community leaders who have the power to effect change. These meetings are planned and led by refugees and immigrant who then convene Public Action Meetings with 50 to 1,000 attendees where commitments are made for which public officials are then held accountable to implement.
