Greetings and welcome to UU Valdosta!

1951 E. Park Ave, Valdosta

We are gathering in person in the sanctuary Sunday mornings for silent meditation at 9:30 a.m., followed by the service at 10:45 a.m.   As a small, lay-led congregation, we are continuing our collaboration with the UU Fellowship of Gainesville, by joining the live-streamed service from UUFG as part of our shared ministry.   Please wear a mask during Sunday services as part of our covenant* to protect the most vulnerable among us!  

Occasionally we will have “local” services and we are also continuing our week-day evening virtual events – so that we can share ministry with other Unitarian Universalists in the Georgia / Florida region!  These evening events include Meditation Tuesday and Soul Matters Small Group Ministry. The UU Valdosta Pagan Circle is also hosting gatherings either in-person or virtually.   See below for more information!

We are continuing our Share-the-Plate activity the third Sunday of each month to support a local organization each month.   Please see the PayPal link below to make donations to Share-the-Plate or to contribute in support of the UU Church of Valdosta.  Thank you!

Mission Statement

The Unitarian Universalist Church of Valdosta is committed to building a community of acceptance and love, where all people may strive for intellectual, moral and spiritual enlightenment. We offer a place to celebrate life’s passages and to join in social action on behalf of local and global communities.

I believe every inch of America is shared,  from sea to shining sea.

I believe we make it holy by who we welcome and by how we relate to each other.

— Eboo Patel

*A Note from the UU Valdosta Board:

As a Unitarian Universalist congregation, we strive to reduce risk for the most vulnerable among us.  Each individual must make a decision about their own risk, and the guidelines below are designed to help each person assess risk as we return to in-person gatherings.  Please honor our covenant!   

As part of our UU Valdosta covenant to support and protect one another:

• We are wearing masks in indoor spaces, regardless of vaccine or immune status.  
• The chairs will be arranged in the sanctuary to provide for the capacity to maintain physical distancing between people and family bubbles.  
• We are not serving food or coffee after the service during the hot summer months, but please stay for a few minutes to visit.  
• If you are not feeling well, please do not attend services or gatherings at the sanctuary. 

Thank you!

The UU Valdosta Board
