If you have passed by our meetinghouse on Paddock Avenue, you certainly have seen the signs! UUMeriden is a religious community that welcomes and affirms all people regardless of sexual or affectional orientation and gender expression. If we weren't clear about that before we're standing up and shouting out loud and clear. You are welcome here!

Literacy Volunteers Celebrate our Youth Group.
With historical roots which spring from the Jewish and Christian traditions, Unitarian Universalists believe that the personal conscience and experience of each individual are the final authorities in matters of faith. Rather than subscribing to a single religious creed or doctrine, we strive to keep our minds open to the questions humans have asked across all cultures since the beginning of civilization.
