Unitarian Universalist Church of Savannah

LOVE the UU Church of Savannah! After a long hiatus from church-​going, i’ve finally found a place that satisfies my fundamental spiritual needs. Each Sunday i’m amazed at how so many people of different beliefs and backgrounds come together for the common good. One principle of the UU Church is «the inherent worth and dignity of every person»; who could argue with that philosophy!?!

First off… let me state that I’m an atheist. It’s true. I don’t believe in a god. I turned my back on organized religion over a dozen years ago and haven’t looked back. It’s strange though, because I’ve always looked at the community of a church and wondered about it.
Well. lo and behold another atheist friend of ours mentions this place in a casual conversation. Hm. Okay… I’m curious.
My husband and I go with the above mentioned friend (little did we realize about a half dozen of our friends go to this church, clearly there’s a reason we’re friends ;D) and we really enjoyed it. Most of the time I was waiting for the ‘G’ word to be dropped but it rarely is and that’s something that brings me a fair amount of peace. My personal understanding is that this church is open to all. doesn’t matter what your beliefs are and they sure aren’t going to force anything on you. Our friend kept looking over at me to see if I was going into fits of panic but I did a-​okay!
Reverend Dave is awesome. He adds so much personality and humor into the service that I keep wanting to see what he’ll come up with next. If you didn’t know, I’m a big fan of humor. ;D
The sermons aren’t about god or heaven or hell. they are about the everyday and what we can do as both an individual and a community and that’s something that really sticks out for me.
So…it’s true. I like church.though.I prefer to call it ‘Not Church’ because I’m just that stubborn.
