“I welcome you to join this vibrant, intergenerational community.
~ Reverend Dr. Kristen Harper

Unitarian Church of Barnstable

To worship is to honor those things
that give us grounding, hope and
provide meaning to our lives.

You. Community. Together.

Worship is a communal activity where we gather to share our joys and sorrows, gifts and needs, gratitude and strength. It is where we continuously recommit to living lives of which we can be proud and comfort and support one another when we fall short.  It is where we are fed for the week and reminded that we can make a difference in the world.

Join us for weekly worship
Sundays at 10:30am.

To Worship Is…

…to lift up that which we understand as sacred—the divine by whatever name you understand God, a diverse community that nurtures and supports one another, the natural world to which we are interconnected, and/or the Universe, the vast container from which we came, live in and return to in the end.

Reverend Dr. Kristen Harper

Statement from our Minister

We believe very strongly that worship ought to be relevant to peoples’ lives.  It must speak to the soul-seeking, day-to-day spiritual needs created by what is often a technologically overwhelming, violent, information-saturated, consumerist society.  People come through our doors seeking meaning and purpose, and needing sustenance and strength to face their daily challenges.

Worship then, must acknowledge the painful realities of life and still affirm hope and humanity’s enduring promise, reminding people that they are not alone.  Life is full of complexity and ambiguity, and worship must address this reality.  It must also celebrate beauty and joy, testifying to the strength of humanity, the wonder of the natural world, the gifts of faith, and the power of community.
