Welcome to the Unitarian Universalist Church of Sarasota and Lakewood Ranch

Join Us this Sunday!
Sunday Service in the Sanctuary and via YouTube at 10:45am

Sermon by Rev. Jay Wolin
When I came here in April during Candidating Week, many people expressed a need or desire to attract younger people to the Congregation.  I will share why I feel having a multi-generational Church is important for everyone.

Children and Youth

Today's service will include a Child Dedication.  ​We invite you to join in this ceremony.

Children and Youth will then leave for their lessons.  Learn more here about this week's lesson.

We are a liberal religious faith that embraces openness and acceptance of many beliefs. 

In Unitarian Universalism, you can bring your whole self: your full identity, your questioning mind, your expansive heart.

.As Unitarian Universalists, we do not have to check our personal background and beliefs at the door: we join together on a journey that honors everywhere we’ve been before.

Our beliefs are diverse and inclusive. We have no shared creed. Our shared covenant (our seven Principles) supports “the free and responsible search for truth and meaning.” 

​ We think for ourselves, and reflect together, about important questions that impact us, our community, and our world as a whole. 

We are a vibrant church and  we hope you will give us a look.
