About Us
The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Saratoga Springs has been a force for good and a place for spiritual growth for more than twenty-five years. Founded by dedicated lay people looking for a liberal religious home in Saratoga Springs and founding minister Rev. Linda Hoddy, UU Saratoga has become recognized as a community of loving people passionate about free religious exploration and bending the arc of the universe toward justice (to paraphrase Unitarian minister Theodore Parker).
Unitarian Universalists are brave, curious, and compassionate thinkers and doers. We are diverse in belief, ethnicity, history and spirituality, but aligned in our desire to make a difference for the good. We have a track record of siding with love, justice, and peace.
We have radical roots and a history as self-motivated spiritual people: we think for ourselves and recognize that life experience influences our beliefs more than anything.
Keeping love always at the center, we joyously take a pluralist path. We are people of many beliefs and backgrounds: people with a religious background, people with none, people who believe in a God, people who don’t, and people who let the mystery be.
We are Unitarian Universalist and Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Humanist, Jewish, Muslim, Pagan, atheist and agnostic, believers in God, and more.
On the forefront of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer inclusion for more than 40 years, we are people of all sexual orientations and gender identities.
We welcome you: your whole self, with all your truths and your doubts, your worries and your hopes. Join us on this extraordinary adventure of faith. Get involved!
