Social Justice
Our congregation is a certified LGBTQ+ Welcoming Congregation and continues work toward becoming a certified Green Sanctuary
As Unitarian Universalists, Social Justice is an integral element of the way we live our faith out in the world. We, as a congregation, are involved in many causes – from immigrant rights and racial equity, to environmental awareness and community outreach – in various ways.

UUCG works on a range of issues, including immigrant rights, rights for the LGBTQ+ community, racial justice, community service, and environmental justice & awareness.
