Art is a powerful mechanism for spiritual exploration- and we are a creative, artistic congregation!
Music is a central feature in our worship services and programming. Theater, comedy improv workshops, embodied rituals, visual art exhibits, poetry readings and more! We embrace both ancient and modern voices, classical and contemporary approaches. Joining any of our arts programs can be a fun and meaningful way for adults, youth, and children to get involved in the life of a congregation.
Music is a vital part of worship and community life at UUSGS, and our adult choir is a center piece of our musical program. Under the direction of Elisabeth Weber, this group is comprised of approximately thirty-five professional and amateur singers from age 15 to 80. The adult choir rehearses weekly and offers anthems during worship throughout the year as well as a full music service with guest orchestral accompaniment twice annually. Elisabeth is a classically trained organist with a passion for community theater and enjoys working with people of diverse levels of ability and experience.
UUSGS offers two choirs for children and youth. Joyful Noise is our youth choir which includes ages 12 to 15 years old. We also offer a Children’s Choir for grade-school children as well. Children and youth choirs offer anthems during Sunday worship and take part outside UUSGS in interfaith worship experiences and community music events.
Our Youth and Children’s Choir offers elementary through high schoolers the opportunity to experience themselves as music-makers, as peacemakers, and as collaborative visionaries and creative worship leaders.
Unity House Players is a community theater organization associated with UUSGS which is committed to creating community and deepening dialog through the arts. We believe in the power of theater to change lives… and even the world!
Unity House produces approximately three adult and youth productions each year, drawing talent from across our region. Performances span 6 shows across two weekends and are typically accompanied by a small professional pit orchestra.
Unity House Players is always eager to welcome new collaborations. Click below to learn more about upcoming opportunities.
UUSGS has been hosting public concerts for over 30 years. Our support of local and national touring artists is well known.

Concerts are open to the public, with reduced price tickets available for students. Volunteer positions are available, too. Come, join the fun!
