Join Us!
At UUWH, we find inspiration, purpose, and hope through engagement with worship, justice work, music, and more—an antidote to isolation in these fractured times.
We invite you to take time to explore what our website and community offers and enter through whatever door feels right to you.
Paths to Membership
Visitors are always welcome to participate in our broad range of activities, but a special covenantal relationship forms when someone commits to congregational life and becomes a member here. Formally joining UU Wellesley Hills entails signing a membership book we have kept since our incorporation in 1871.
Anyone considering membership is encouraged to discuss their interest with our Senior Minister, Rev. Mark Robel, who will schedule a time to meet for a deeper conversation on what it means to become a member.
Our Ministers
Over its lengthy history, UU Wellesley Hills has had several ministers who offered distinguished service to the congregation and to the community. Our congregation has been proud to serve as a teaching congregation that has graduated many Intern Ministers; we have a dedicated endowment named after our Minister Emeritus, Rev. John Nichols, to fund their stipends.
