  • A Flower Communion Farewell: A New Chapter

    June 14, 2026 - 10:00 AM

    NO ZOOM WORSHIP THIS SUNDAY; in-person only. The recent storm caused a power outage and subsequent surge which damaged our internal network equipment, so we will not be able to stream the worship service to Zoom.

    Join us in the Sanctuary. Bring a bloom or blossom to church to share and go home with something different. We celebrate our own diversity, equity, and inclusion on a spiritual level this Sunday.  Together we make a beautiful bouquet.  This will be Rev. Pam and Rev. Karen’s last worship service at CCUU. We will have a congregational potluck after the service.

Who We Are

Countryside Church Unitarian Universalist is a religious community that confirms, challenges and supports a diverse membership that spans all age groups, faith traditions, and an array of ethnic, political and economic experiences. We think that diversity enriches us all as we talk about a reality that none of us can possibly know completely.

What We Do

Our purpose is as complex as it is simple: We unite to strengthen the bonds of kinship among all persons, to promote human dignity and increase reverence for life’s creating, sustaining and transforming power through worship, study and service. –The Countryside Church Covenant

What We Believe

Our church is unique in that we do not have one set of beliefs that everyone must share in order to join. Rather, we believe in pluralistic religious ideas and the freedom of their expression. We believe that individual reason and conscience are the arbiters of religious truth. And we believe that seeking that truth is a never-ending journey.

Our Prairie

Nature is a spiritual wonder. The interconnected web of life is in full expression in prairies.

Countryside maintains a small prairie to remind us we’re part of the reciprocal circle of life. We recognize our future is intertwined with the flourishing of the natural world. Our members are deeply involved in community restoration groups as stewards and volunteers. Having a connection with nature brings everyone so much joy. Our small prairie, with its growing number of plant species, is a symbol that our faith community is committed to a glorious mutual flourishing of all living things.
