Welcome

Welcome to the Unitarian Universalists of Central Delaware

Greetings, and welcome to the Unitarian Universalists of Central Delaware (UUCD).  If you are new to Unitarian Universalism (UU), you are in for a real adventure.  If you know a little (or a lot) about UU’s, this will be somewhat familiar territory.

We were chartered in 2009; but we come out of a long progressive tradition of freethinking, responsible people who take very seriously growing as spiritual beings. We are a small group, but value enthusiastically sharing our time energy and talent.  We invite you to get to know us by joining us in our virtual services.


Next Sunday’s Service – March 24, 10:00 a.m.

Fascism and Lessons from My Little Pony – Rev. Kim D. Wilson

In her thought-provoking 2023 Berry Street Essay, Cecilia Kingman explains that fascism is not just an extremist ideology, but perhaps more importantly, it is a political method.  Now more than ever, we need to learn how to understand what it is, how to identify it and how to recognize its harm to us as individuals, as a country – and as a denomination.  And, as unlikely as it would seem, the children’s TV show, “My Little Pony,” might just offer us an alternative model for a harmonious society in which each individual is valued for exactly who they are.

This service will be conducted both in-person and, concurrently, in a Zoom meeting.  Please email uucdcontact@gmail.com for information about joining us in the Zoom meeting.


UUCD Is An LGBTQ+ Welcoming Congregation

As a Welcoming Congregation, we at UUCD open our doors to people of all sexual orientations and gender identities. We create an inclusive religious community and work for LGBTQ justice and equity as a core part of who we are.  All of who you are is sacred, and all of who you are is welcome.

Visit our LGBTQ+ Welcoming Congregation page to learn more.


What Do We Believe?

It is difficult to briefly describe the complexity and diversity of our spiritual community.  That’s because we are more about supporting and engaging each other on our own individual spiritual journeys, than on making truth claims or seeking conformity.  It is often said that we are more interested in a good discussion, than in agreement.  So rather than being about a belief system, we are about personal freedom and personal responsibility.  We each have the personal freedom to search for our own understanding.  With that comes the personal responsibility to follow through on that quest.  In the words of retired UU minister Richard Gilbert, we: ‘provide tools for building a theology based on the materials of our individual life experiences.’

So if you are looking for a spiritual home which:

    • welcomes you as you are,
    • celebrates the human condition as it is,
    • challenges us to explore the meanings of our lives, and the commitments which give it purpose,
    • encourages us to ask questions about our understanding of the sacred and divine,
    • engages with us in the answers we find,
    • offers the support of a caring community, and
    • provides us with a safe place to discover more about ourselves;

then come and join us.  We gather on Sunday mornings to celebrate life.

Our Minister

Rev. Kim D. WilsonUUCD has a new minister – Rev. Kim D. Wilson!  Rev. Kim is a lifelong UU and has been a UU minister since 2001. She has served a few congregations as well as hospital and youth chaplain. Rev. Kim has worked with the UUA and UUMA in various roles. She retired earlier this year from her last congregation and discovered that she missed ministry too much to stay retired.  We believe Rev. Kim will be an excellent fit for UUCD.  

Please check the Our Minister page for more information about Rev. Kim.
