Who we are

Capital Unitarian Universalist Congregation is a vibrant, lay-led UU community in Victoria, BC, Canada.

We strive to build an inclusive, evolving, liberal religious community which offers a safe, supportive, stimulating environment for meaning-making, for those who feel the need for spiritual growth. Many of us enjoy discussing the moral and philosophical issues of the day!

We welcome you, whoever you are, whatever religious belief, tradition, gender, race, sexual orientation or age you represent.  We hope that our time together will enhance in all of us a feeling of community and love, help us maintain peace of mind, and bring wisdom and the joy of caring and sharing.
