About UUCL

The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the Lowcountry is affiliated with the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations and is an ethical and liberal religious community dedicated to promoting the ongoing search for truth and to affirming the inherent worth of the individual.

We understand reality through human experience, enlightened reason, scientific method, and the democratic process, and we find the central source of power and goodness within the human heart, mind, and spirit. Individually and collectively, we assume responsibility for our future, our community, our children, and our interdependent world.

Our growth and actions as thoughful, compassionate, and ethical human beings advance our humanist vision of a world of peace and love, dignity and equality, freedom and justice.

Our Mission

The mission of this Congregation is to enrich and clarify our understanding of religious thought; to provide experiences for spiritual growth; to encourage and protect the right of individual freedom of belief; to promote the democratic process in human relations; and to advance these principles for the benefit of each other, our community and our world.

Our History

The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the Lowcountry was founded in 1977 as the Unitarian Fellowship of Hilton Head Island. For most of our history, we rented space on Hilton Head Island, most recently meeting at Temple Beth Yam.

It became clear, however, that for our congregation to grow and be more welcoming to families with young children, we woul dneed to have our own building. With the considerable effort of our members, that dream became a reality in the Spring of 2007 when we moved into our new home.

In the brief time we have been in Bluffton, we have seen our membership grown considerably with the most notable increase being our youngest members. Our Children's Religious Education programs have truly blossomed in our new building under the guidance of our Director of Religious Education, Ann Harrison.

Location

We are located at 110 Malphrus Road in Bluffton, approximately 1 mile South of Fording Island Road (Highway 278) at Lowe's. Our building is handicap accessible with plenty of parking in front.

Services

Worship Services are held every Sunday at 10:00 a.m.
