We are a Welcoming Congregation

Our church welcomes all who are of kind hearts and open minds, just as you are, whoever you are – we welcome you!

Our faith respects each mind and heart, path and journey. Love is at the center of our Shared UU Values.

We believe in the worth of every person, support others for who they are, grow through a personal search for truth, work for justice, and understand that everything is interconnected.
Our Wilmington congregation, established May 23, 1968, is rooted in a history stretching from European religious pioneers to 21st Century visionaries. Progressive and spiritually diverse, we come together to make a difference for our community and ourselves.
Please join us on an extraordinary adventure of faith.

Our Next Service

  • Sunday, Nov 1

    Please join Thea, Kathy, Jeanette, and Andrew for “Celebrating Lives – Lessons from Dia de los Muertos.”

    The day after Halloween is * not * Mexican Halloween – it is a beautiful and complex tradition celebrating family and friends who’ve gone before, and has evolved over thousands of years. 

    If you have a small photo of a family member you’d like to honor on Sunday, we’ll have a Memory Board near the Chancel for you to post it on before the service. 

    Please arrive a few minutes early so we can gently add it to others. 

    The display will come down after service.

    9:15 am Quest in Dobkin Hall  – Is Consciousness Fundamental? with Jimmy Reeves

    In this week’s Quest, we’ll revisit the question of what it is to be conscious by considering some recent research that calls into question the materialist view that it’s all in our head.   This view has been a scientific article of faith for over 400 years, a result of the idea that matter and energy described by Galileo, Newton and Einstein are all there is.  Over that time our ability to measure and manipulate the world of atoms, rocket ships and laser beams has been so successful that it’s easy to think that given enough time science will explain everything, including consciousness.  But the “hard question of consciousness”, how can an electrical circuit or dopamine dump produce a feeling, has never been solved.
