Frequently Asked Questions

What do Unitarian Universalists Believe?

The Unitarian Universalist Association has this to say:

Unitarian Universalists believe more than one thing. We think for ourselves, and reflect together, about important questions:

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.

What Should I Expect When I Come to Church?

You should expect to be welcomed! We make a point to introduce ourselves to visitors and guests. We want you to come and enjoy our service where you may hear sermons ranging in topics from Faith to Bonobos.

You will hear hymns that may have roots in many faiths and are welcome to join in!

Often there are musical or artistic presentations performed by members of the congregation (it's OK to clap!).

Also expect to be invited for coffee and snacks after the service so we can get to know you and you can get to know us!

What Others Are Saying

We support UUCSV because of its strong presence in this community. Wherever we go in Black Mountain and the surrounding area we run into active members of this congregation who are busy making things better for the community and doing things we like to do. We feel at home here.

After forty years in Chapel Hill and twenty five at The Community Church, we were definitely feeling displaced. To find just a mile down the road from our house within biking or walking distance such a great bunch of people has made our transition to WNC practically painless. So here we are, feeling right at home at the UUCSV and making it a big part of our life here.

I joined the Unitarian Church because I felt extremely welcomed by many dear and kind individuals. The chaplain, Michael Carter, is an extraordinary gentleman. He is eloquent, bright, wise, funny, heartful, well read, caring and engaging. My Sunday service is a high spot of my week!
