ALL ARE WELCOME HERE
The Unitarian Universalist Society of Oneonta (UUSO) is a welcoming community, with a nurturing spirit and working for a just and sustainable world. Our Society strives to provide a visible, positive place for the greater community to gather in love and acceptance. Without dogma or doctrine, our congregation welcomes all to challenge, question, and explore as we all grow in spirit. Because the beloved community is inclusive, we champion those who have been historically excluded and fulfill our responsibility to the interdependent web of life.
