What We Believe
Our faith, Unitarian Universalism, is spiritually alive and justice-centered.
Unitarian Universalists search for truth along many paths. Instead of centering our religion on specific beliefs, we gather around shared moral values that include the inherent worth and dignity of every person.
With its historical roots in the Jewish and Christian traditions, Unitarian Universalism is a liberal religion that keeps an open mind to the religious questions people have struggled with through the ages. We believe personal experience, conscience and reason should be the final authorities in religion, and that in the end, religious authority lies not in a book or person or institution, but in ourselves.
To learn more about Unitarian Universalism's religious roots and theologies, visit the Unitarian Universalist Association's "Beliefs Within Our Faith." For other information about the denomination, visit the web site of the Unitarian Universalist Association. You can also check out Wikipedia's description of Unitarian Universalism and learn about our congregation's principles and purpose. You can also review our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) page.

Worship Services & Times
Please join us for Sunday worship services. On the Sundays after Labor Day, our services are at 9:15 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. Between Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day weekend our Sunday services are at 10:00 a.m. We recommend you attend 3-4 services to really “try us out.” And be sure to come into Robinson Lounge (adjacent to our sanctuary) for fellowship and refreshments after the service. We look forward to welcoming you and getting to know you.
Worship Services
All are welcome to attend our worship services at any time. Children briefly join the worship service in Channing Hall on the first Sunday of the month, before they go to their classrooms. Other Sundays of the month children’s worship services are held in Fahs Theatre before they go to their classrooms. Several times a year we worship as community of all ages. Those services include: Blessing of the Waters in September; Day of the Dead in October or November; Hanging of the Greens in December; Easter in March or April; and Flower Communion in May.
What to wear?
You are welcome to come in whatever makes you comfortable. You'll find most people wearing casual attire -- everything from typical "Friday casual days" wear to jeans and T-shirts. And there are some men who feel more comfortable in a coat and tie and some women likely to wear a dress or suit.
Directions
We are located at 50 Cherry Hill Road, Princeton, NJ. Check out our directions page for detailed maps, parking and transportation information.
