Who We Are

Welcome to UUSGS...a creative, innovative and vibrant spiritual community

UUSGS is a visionary community, building a foundation for the transformation of our world through authentic human and spiritual connection. We aspire to re-imagine religious community as relevant, as accessible and as a powerful force for joyful, just, equitable and sustainable society.


UUSGS was founded in 1819 as the Third Congregational Society of Springfield and has been on the forefront of religious and social reform throughout its history. Grounded in Unitarian Universalist principles and with 200 years of history in Springfield, MA, at UUSGS we are a faith community which honors the past; is relevant in the present; and provides a promise for the future.

Vibrant.

We are a congregation that is active. In our community, in our city and in the lives of our members and visitors. We reflect that vibrance in what we say and what we do.


Inclusive.

UUSGS is not just a place people go on Sunday. We are a family and everyone is welcome to join. Whether you are a seeker, skeptic, believer, or somewhere in between on life’s journey, you are welcome here.

Progressive.

Religion isn’t about rules and doctrine, or even believing the same thing. Religion is about finding and keeping your balance, seeking right relationship, and living with intention.

What We Believe

At UUSGS there are many paths to religious exploration, and no 'right' way. We believe that religion isn’t about rules and doctrine, or even believing the same thing. Religion is about finding and keeping your balance, seeking right relationship, and living with intention.


Rooted in Unitarian Universalist principles and drawing from all of worlds' wisdom traditions, our worship and activities offer many avenues for spiritual exploration. Small group ministry, music, theater and the arts, justice projects, lecture series, embodied practices such as Tai-chi, meditation and MORE provide pathways to spiritual growth.


UUSGS we say to each other that Love is the Spirit of this congregation and Service is it's Law. We covenant to Dwell together in Peace, to Seek Truth in Love and to Help One Another. We need not think alike to love alike.

Music & The Arts

Music is a vital part of worship & community life at UUSGS. Music is one of many avenues to liberation, self-expression, and collaboration… values that we espouse deeply as a religious community. Many of our services feature choral music of some kind, sometimes instrumental music, and almost always congregational singing.
