Who Are We?
 We worship together by exploring the world's loving philosophies and spiritual traditions, freely searching for truth and meaning, working for social justice, and celebrating the wonderful inter-connectedness of all life.
Our Unitarian Universalist faith has evolved over a long history, with theological origins in European Christian traditions: “Unitarian”, the oneness of God, and "Universalism", that none is condemned to hell.
UUCE is a Welcoming Congregation.

As a dedication to our new building, our new spiritual and community home, at 13th and Chambers, this song from our Hymnal, Singing the Living Tradition, hymn #1.
May Nothing Evil Pass This Door
words by Louis Untermeyer (1885-1977)
May nothing evil cross this door, and may ill fortune never pry
about these windows; may the roar and rain go by.
By faith made strong, the rafters will withstand the battering of the storm.
This hearth, though all the world grow chill, will keep you warm.
Peace shall walk softly through these rooms, touching our lips with holy wine,
till every casual corner blooms into a shrine.
With laughter drown the raucous shout, and, though these sheltering walls are thin,
may they be strong to keep hate out and hold love in.
