The mission of Holston Valley Unitarian Universalist Church is to promote spiritual growth, religious freedom, and ethical action.
We work together as a church to transform ourselves, our community, and our world by sharing love, pursuing justice, and seeking wonder.
We embrace diversity within the congregation’s membership and in theology. We are committed to being a vital and growing progressive congregation within our larger community.
We hope you will visit our church. Our worship services are at 11:00am; children’s and adult’s religious education classes are both before the service at 9:30am.
