Attend Sunday Services via:

Second Unitarian Church

Join us for our weekly service at 656 W. Barry Ave. at 10:30AM. Free parking is available at the Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center; stop by the Welcome Table for a parking pass. Each week, we delve into an inclusive theme that guides our service, from the opening hymn to the Story for All Ages, through readings from various sources, musical offerings from our talented musicians, and a thought-provoking message from the pulpit. Following the service, we invite you to stay for Coffee Hour, where you can enjoy coffee, tea, and snacks while engaging in meaningful conversation with fellow attendees and learn about upcoming activities and how you can get involved.

The Admiral at the Lake

Our building on Barry Ave is currently not wheelchair accessible. In the meantime, we have organized a satellite space that is both wheelchair and hearing aid accessible at The Admiral at The Lake. Volunteers will be present to guide you to where the gathering will take place. Unitarians entering the parking garage may park in the guest spaces numbered 40-75. Take an elevator to the 1st floor and enter the Admiral past the concierge and follow a hallway to the left. Masks encouraged during service.

  • Unitarian Universalists are seekers who are committed not only to spiritual growth and transformation but also to involvement in the world. Ours is a living faith that acknowledges that truth is not sealed and that the journey is more important than the answers. While we uphold shared principles, we hold varied beliefs and therefore do not have a creed. Our beliefs come from not one but many sources. We draw wisdom and inspiration from all of the world’s great religions and prophetic men and women.

  • We covenant to build a community that challenges us to grow and empowers us to honor the truth within ourselves. We will be generous with our gifts and honest in our communication, holding faithful to a love that embraces both diversity and conflict. Called by our living tradition, we will nurture spirituality within a vision of the eternal, living out our inner convictions through struggles for justice and acts of compassion.

  • “We seek to create a vibrant, inclusive faith community. We envision a place of sanctuary and spiritual growth. Together, we aspire to build a just and compassionate world.”

    Our vision statement is intended to capture our essence, value, and aspiration — big ideas and complex concepts conveyed in a few words. It derives from our Unitarian Universalist seven principles, the covenant that binds us, and lots of listening and synthesizing of input from our community. Together with the 2U mission and five-year strategic plan, the vision gives direction to the work of our ministry and congregation, and all that implies. In crafting the vision statement, we sought to prioritize the enduring, compelling ideas that bring each of us to 2U, and that tell others who we are and seek to be. Our vision weaves together three interlocking spheres – of individual spiritual exploration and growth, of the nurturing of the church community, and of our impact on the city and world around us. We hope this vision statement serves as a north star, a motivational force, and a subject of exploration and action.
