As a Unitarian Universalist congregation, South Valley has roots deep in religious liberalism, exploring life’s “big questions,” and encouraging members in their personal spiritual journeys. The programs and events of the church are meant to help people grow in curiosity, spirit, and community, while honoring a diversity of beliefs and experiences.
Unitarian Universalists believe that each person has a unique gift to offer the world and seeks to nurture and celebrate those gifts. The congregation welcomes young and old, families and singles, all the colors and cultures of the human race, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and straight people.
All events are open to the public and “kid-friendly”
All events will take place at South Valley, 6876 Highland Dr. More info can be found at www.svuus.org or by calling 801-944-9723.
