Individual and communal action that accountably dismantles racism and other structural barriers to full inclusion in ourselves and our institutions.

Upcoming Services
National Worship Sunday Service: Covenanting through Transitions
Sunday February 05, 2022. 11 am
Congregations are experiencing a lot of change these days: from ministerial transitions to implementing the 8th Principle, all during a pandemic. Upheaval, loss, uncertainty, pain, aspirations, conflict: cultural shifts within and without are calling us to hold one another gently, despite our differences and difficulties.
Covenanting through Transition is a national worship service that asks us “How do we stay in covenant through all of this in our communities? How do we stay in it in a good way when it is hard and people aren’t always their best selves or are disappointed?”
We encourage you to bring materials to help you participate in a creative ritual to express yourself during the service; art supplies, an instrument, findings from outside, whatever moves you!
Where: Zoom, YouTube Live

Hello, Calgary Unitarians and Friends! We hope this message finds you well. Once again, we are adapting to changes in COVID management strategies and doing our best to safely include as many people as possible in our worship and programs. Please read through the new guidelines below for all of our participation options. We look forward to welcoming you and spending time together!
Unitarians
are united by values rather than belief in one set creed or dogma. Our values include acceptance of one another, compassion, and a commitment to justice and equity. We believe in exploring the mysteries of life, we believe in ethical living, we believe in living out our spirituality in this world by working for peace, justice, equality, democracy, and respect—for one another, as well as for the interdependent web of life, of which we are all a part.
We believe that it is not who or what you believe in that is important, but rather, how you live your life.
Music and Choirs
Music plays an important role at Calgary Unitarians — even during a pandemic! Music Director Jane Perry leads three church choirs and, aided by a volunteer team, organizes other musical events throughout the year. Our church is also home to community choirs, a ukulele ensemble, and more! At present, we have shifted all our music activities to the online environment.
Social Justice
Unitarian Universalists believe that it is how you live your life that is important. Our Eight Principles call us to ethical behaviour and social and environmental justice.
We invite you to explore the ways in which our church community acts for a just and sustainable world and to get involved!
