Allegheny Unitarian Universalist Church
We are a welcoming, urban congregation that puts Unitarian Universalism into action by celebrating life, nourishing the spirit, and inspiring a commitment to justice.
Join Us for Sunday Worship in the Sanctuary or Online
Sunday morning worship at Allegheny offers an opportunity to find spiritual refreshment, inspiration, and joy. We worship together in the sanctuary and online through Zoom. For Zoom access, please contact us.
Services are lay-led by members and friends of the congregation with Rev. Deryck Tines providing a monthly message, typically on the third Sunday. During our other services, we regularly have guest speakers from the wider UU world, the artistic community, and the local justice community. Join us every Sunday for a unique experience at Soul Space, followed by Worship Café.
Soul Space at 10:30 am
Together we create a peaceful space for prayer and reflection. This weekly meditation begins with welcoming words and a time for our prayers and intentions. An invitation to stillness and a period of reflection conclude the service.
Worship Café at 11:00 am
Each week at the Worship Café, Allegheny welcomes a fellow traveler on life’s journey. Café guests share their thoughts and passions to inspire us on the way.
All Are Welcome
You’ll find amazing people here from diverse religious backgrounds and on varied spiritual paths.
We are an LGBTQ Welcoming Congregation.

Mar 3 | Rev. Dr. Daniel Kanter (Livestream)
We again present Rev. Daniel Kanter, Senior Minister at First Unitarian Church of Dallas, in a live streamed presentation from last January: The spiritual practice of saying no is at the root of what a sabbath is. This spiritual discipline can be important as we dive deeper into what sustains us and keeps us going. Join us at Worship Café for this insightful and inspiring reflection.
Mar 10 | John Engberg
John has been a member of Allegheny for almost 30 years. He lives less than a block from the church and began attending after getting to know some neighbors who were members at the time. He immediately fell in love with the people and with a church that encouraged him to discover his own beliefs. The church has changed some over the years, but he keeps falling in love with it, over and over again! John will join us in conversation with Charlie Snowden.
Mar 17 | Rev. Deryck Tines
Our spiritual focus in this month of March is The Gift of Transformation. Rev. Deryck joins us at Worship Café in a conversation that weaves this theme into his personal experiences.
