Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the Sandhills

1320 Rays Bridge Rd.
Whispering Pines, NC 28327

uucsandhills@gmail.com
www.uucsandhills.org

The core of Unitarian Universalism is the freedom of belief along with the responsibility to seek truth and meaning. There is no set creed and there are no required beliefs. We are united by our freedom to question, our agreement that it is all right to be in doubt, and that the search for individual truth may be aided by common effort.  We invite all who share our vision to join us in this spiritual journey.

We are a welcoming congregation who envision a life filled with compassion for all, where the LGBTQ+ community is able to experience the inherent worth and dignity of every person.
