Unitarian Universalist congregations and members voted to adopt a set of Shared Values, which we reference in our services, programs, and our individual lives and actions. Central to this group of Values is Love.
Everyone has a story—and we'd love for you to join us for worship in person on Sunday mornings at 10:00 a.m. or virtually on Zoom, so we can get to know you, hear your story, and help you see how UUCN can empower the next phase of your journey!
We're pleased to host Zen meditation sessions, led by congregation member Willy Heineman, on Wednesday evenings at 7:15 pm. Donations are welcome.

Our Minister Rev. Dianne M. Daniels began serving as our contract minister in September 2025, after over 30 years as a member of the UU faith at UUCN.
At the heart of her call to ministry is a strong belief in shared UU Values, the inherent worth and dignity of all beings, and a desire to share the "Good News" of Unitarian Universalism.
The UU practice of centering Love and radical acceptance drives her ministry and her preaching.
Rev. Dianne featured on "Stories Worth Telling."
Rev. Dianne was a guest on Cate Steel's cable show "Stories Worth Telling" - check out the replay on YouTube:
Parking Area (s) Our downtown location at 67 – 69 Main Street offers parking on both sides of the street, and in the Main Street Garage right across the street from the church.
Our street is getting busier as residential units and commercial spaces in nearby buildings are renovated and rented (like the new Chelsea Groton bank branch at 55 Main Street) - please be careful driving and walking in the area.
Dress Code We are not overly formal–most people wear what’s comfortable for them and what works for the current weather conditions. If you are used to “dressing up” for church and are comfortable with that, by all means, dress up!
Most people attended our live services in “business casual” clothing. Please observe the bounds of decency when choosing your attire for services.
