Welcome to the Home of North Shore Unitarians
Are you looking for a spiritual community where you can bring your true self – your full identity, your inquiring mind, your expansive heart? A community where you are encouraged to think for yourself, and strive together to create more peace, justice, and love in your life and in the world?
You may be interested in the North Shore Unitarians.
We are people of many paths who are curious, compassionate, and brave thinkers and doers. We are diverse in faith, ethnicity, and history, but aligned in our desire to build community that nurtures our spirits and takes a stand for love and justice.
We have different beliefs and backgrounds -- some have a religious background, some do not; some believe in a God, some don’t, and some let the mystery be.
We have a fresh approach to spirituality that acknowledges each of us is on our own journey but reminds us that we need one another along the way. We celebrate with one another in times of joy and hold one another in times of sorrow.
Our Unitarian Universalist (UU) tradition is dogma-free and founded on the principles of freedom, reason, and tolerance. We are committed to community, diversity, social justice, truth and reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples, and the future of the planet.
We welcome you -- with all your truths and your doubts, your worries and your hopes. Find out what it means to live your deepest values out loud. Join us on this extraordinary adventure.
We invite you to learn more by coming to a Sunday service. Services vary in style, theme, and content but always inspire us to live with more depth, meaning, and purpose. Come a few times to see what we’re about!
Upcoming Service:
10:30am Sunday, April 6th
“From the Captain's Log: our mission to remove marine plastic from BC's northern shores”
with Marcia Stephenson, Randy Burke,
and special guest musician Luke Wallace
When COVID struck in 2020, ecotourism in BC was facing total shut down. This Sunday, we’ll hear a first-person account of a pivot that salvaged biomes and livelihoods at the same time: the Marine Debris Removal Initiative. Longtime NSUC member Randy Burke, owner of Bluewater Adventures, will tell us the story of the expeditions, featuring action shots of crew hauling debris from beaches to barges.
Kicking off Earth Month for us will be guest musician Luke Wallace, a local composer whose songs lift up the message of people acting together for the planet. Luke is a dynamic force in the world of folk music, using his talent as a songwriter, speaker, and choral arranger to champion environmental causes and inspire positive change. Hailing from the Coast Salish Territory known as Vancouver, Canada, Luke has been on a decade-long journey of touring, recording, and organizing for the betterment of people and the planet. See his full bio.
