After attending two services I'm left with nothing more than this is a 'feel good' church with…read morelittle to no biblical teaching. Lots of technology, little substance. Todays sermon was a podcast based production on leadership. I thought we were taught to be followers of Christ. Instead, the service was surprisingly egocentric and nothing was taught of the nature of God and following Christ. If you are looking for a church that excels at eye-catching graphics and pop worship music, this would be a good feed. If you are looking for a reason to open your Bible and dig a little deeper, I suggest looking elsewhere.

I attended my first service here this morning and it was wonderful! You never know what to expect…read morewhen trying out a new church, so my daughter and I had no expectations! The music was amazing, the pastor's message was direct and relatable. The amount of time in each area of the service was perfect and not drug out. There was no pressure from anyone and they made you feel welcome. Everyone seemed genuine. I even ran into my aunt and cousin who first ever brought me to God, which I am forever grateful for! His timing always! Will definitely return!

This is a welcoming supportive and loving congregation, and a strong one at that, having to deal with a few hardships over the last few years. This congregation carries itself through.

WHAT WE BELIEVE Unitarian Universalists have diverse and inclusive beliefs In Unitarian Universalism, you can bring your whole self: your full identity, your questioning mind, your expansive heart. Together, we create a force more powerful than one person or one belief system. 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." Though Unitarianism and Universalism were both liberal Christian traditions, this responsible search has led us to embrace diverse teachings from Eastern and Western religions and philosophies. Unitarian Universalists believe more than one thing. We think for ourselves, and reflect together, about important questions: The existence of a Higher Power Life and Death Sacred Texts Inspiration and Guidance Prayer and Spiritual Practices We are united in our broad and inclusive outlook, and in our values, as expressed in our seven Principles. We are united in shared experience: our open and stirring worship services, religious education, and rites of passage; our work for social justice; our quest to include the marginalized; our expressions of love. For more information contact info@uua.org We promote seven Principles: in our faith of diverse beliefs, are the shared values that guide us. People of many backgrounds and beliefs worship together in Unitarian Universalism. Our inclusive spirituality is drawn from six sources: from scriptural wisdom to personal experience to modern day Herod

My husband, Dave, and I come from very different backgrounds. We were both brought up in different…read morefaiths, with divergent emphasis on creed and dogma. We found it very difficult to agree on a church. After finding the First Unitarian Universalist Church we found a place to call home. The congregation is full of character and eager to help. This church is a very active in community events in and around Rochester, Minnesota. Even though I am wheelchair-bound after surgery to remove a brain tumor, I am welcome in various committees. My opinion and needs are valued. I feel empowered here. I am able to utilize my strengths to help others. To me, that is what spirituality is. I urge anyone looking for a place to feel whole, necessary, and loved to join us for a service. You will not be disappointed!
