Central Unitarian Church is a religious community that serves members throughout Bergen, Hudson, Passaic and Rockland counties. Founded over a century ago, our congregation is part of a 450-year-old faith tradition and is a member of the Unitarian Universalist Association.

Unitarian Universalism

Unitarian Universalism is a 450-year-old faith with its roots in the Protestant Reformation and a long history of commitment to social, religious, and political reform. UUs like to say that they care more about getting heaven into people than people into heaven. Learn more about our faith.

The living tradition we share draws from many sources. Direct experiences of transcending mystery and wonder are primary sources of Unitarian Universalist inspiration. These experiences open our hearts, renew our spirits, and transform our lives. We draw upon, and are inspired by, sacred, secular, and scientific understandings that help us make meaning and live into our values. These sources ground us and sustain us in ordinary, difficult, and joyous times. We respect the histories, contexts, and cultures in which these sources were created and are currently practiced. Grateful for the experiences that move us, aware of the religious ancestries we inherit, and enlivened by the diversity which enriches our faith, we are called to ever deepen and expand our wisdom.
