Who We Are
We are a religiously diverse, LGBTQ+ embracing, intentionally multiracial and multicultural Unitarian Universalist faith community.
In our congregation, we journey together in Love toward restoring spiritual wholeness. We were founded as a Universalist church in central Philadelphia in 1820 and relocated to the Mount Airy neighborhood in 1938. Join us for Sunday Services weekly in our air-conditioned sanctuary at 11am, followed by our coffee hour. Sunday school and child care are available. Summer services offer a potluck coffee hour.
We welcome people from any religious background who seek personal and spiritual growth in an extended family atmosphere.
Upcoming Worship Service
Sunday, November 25: “Guest at Your Table Sunday 50th Anniversary” In honor of the 50th anniversary of Guest at your table, we’ll share stories from these programs and lift up what it means to love your neighbor today in Philadelphia in 2025. We will also recognize the Trans Day of Remembrance and send love to the lives lost in the past year from our trans community through the ritual of the Bread Communion. Jim C will sing Grateful, and our choir will perform. Rev. McKinley will lead.

“The Summer Day” by Mary Oliver
Who made the world? Who made the swan, and the black bear? Who made the grasshopper? This grasshopper, I mean– the one who has flung herself out of the grass, the one who is eating sugar out of my hand, who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down…
Mt Airy Fridge & Pantry
Founded by two of our UUsMA members along with a life-long resident of East Mt. Airy, our Mt Airy 
Community Fridge affirms food as a right not a privilege and is founded on radical hospitality. People who come to get food also often help stock and clean the shelves and break down boxes. Folks from the neighborhood as well as our congregation donate food.
