About Us

Comal County Unitarian Universalist Society was founded in 1995 by a small group of dedicated people who met in their homes. We then met in rented spaces for many years but are now in our just completed church and have grown to seventy two members. We became affiliated with the Unitarian Universalist Association in 1999. We are a pre-pastoral, lay-led congregation. We meet on Wednesday evenings for an adult forum consisting of interesting programs and discussion presented by members, friends or outside presenters. We meet on Sunday mornings for a sharing service based on sermons from many sources and generally read by church members. Formal Religious Education for children is provided at the same time as the service, except during the summer. Then we have our Summer Fundays program and even though it’s not based on a formal UU curriculum, it is based on UU principles. We welcome people of all races, religions, ages, cultures, sexual orientations, physical abilities, and economic levels.

We agree to treat each other with respect and kindness.
We agree to listen patiently to others as they speak.
We agree to speak thoughtfully but briefly.
We agree to give others a chance to speak before we speak again.
We agree to welcome new ideas and insights in our deliberations.

Certified Green Sanctuary

In March 2011 CCUUS received recognition as a Certified Green Sanctuary. To achieve this we were required to complete 12 projects of our choosing in the areas of Worship, Environmental Justice, Religious Education and Sustainable Living.

Together we can help create a world in which all people make reverence, gratitude and care for the living Earth that is central to our lives.

What is a Green Sanctuary?

  • A Green Sanctuary has received official recognition for completing the Green Sanctuary Program.
  • A Green Sanctuary lives out its commitment to the earth by creating sustainable lifestyles for its members as individuals and as a faith community.
  • A Green Sanctuary is committed towards creating a religious community that has a fundamental, bottom-line, commitment to living in harmony with the Earth.
