A Spiritual Home for You and Your Family

Welcome to the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the South Jersey Shore!

Our liberal religion comes out of the Judeo-Christian tradition, but we draw from many teachers, sages and prophets throughout the ages. Ours is a non-creedal religion. We think that reason, personal experience and conscience should be the final authorities in religion. We firmly believe that people should be encouraged to think for themselves, and that their differences in lifestyles and opinions should be honored by all. We want our children to learn about the great questions of life, but encourage them to find their own answers.

On Sunday mornings from 10:00 to 11:00, we gather for services and for religious education classes. We meet in Absecon, New Jersey, at the Lions Center for the Blind, at the corner of Pitney Road and Crestview Avenue. Click here for a map and directions. We are a growing congregation in the process of constructing our own building near Richard Stockton College in Galloway NJ.

When you arrive, you will be welcomed by greeters. We wear nametags to make it easier for newcomers, and you will be given one too. At services you will find about fifty to sixty adults, and between 12 to 24 children. Dress is casual. After services most people stay for "coffee hour" -- fellowship and light snacks.

At the present time, we are "between ministers." For our services, we draw upon UU ministers around the region, and the rest of our services are led by lay leaders and guest speakers. There is much variety in the content and style of our services. One thing members often say is, "Services are always interesting."
