About

Home to San Diego's religious free thinkers since 1873

The First Unitarian Universalist Church of San Diego has two campuses - one in Hillcrest and another in South Bay. We have offered a unique religious voice of freedom, reason, and tolerance in San Diego since 1873. First UU has an administrative staff, board of directors, and vibrant volunteer community. We host a wide variety of church groups and programs. 

Serving San Diego with Two Campuses

Hillcrest Campus
Learn all about our main location at our Hillcrest Campus page.
South Bay Campus
Learn about our Chula Vista location at our South Bay Campus page. 

We do not tell you what you must believe

We don't ask you to check your mind at the door. Instead we invite you to join in a conversation with us about the meaning of life, love, and service. We encourage you to ask the big questions of life. What do my life and death mean? How do I live with integrity? How can I love well? What gifts of service can I bring to help the world heal? Together we explore the answers of humanity's wisdom traditions - not only from Jewish and Christian sources but also from the world's religions, from nature, from science, and from modern thought. For more info visit our Principles & Sources page.
