A thriving, multicultural campus

Unitarian Universalists of the South Bay is a thriving, multicultural campus of the First Unitarian Universalist Church. While we have two campuses, we are one church and share the mission to create community, nurture spiritual growth, and act on our values to help heal the world. Our South Bay Campus is located in Chula Vista and offers a variety of ways to engage meaningfully with our congregation and the larger community. We hope you’ll visit and become involved in this beloved community!

Social Justice & Service

Acting on our values to help heal the world is a central part of our mission as a congregation. We do this work in a variety of ways, including:
  • The South Bay Food Pantry provides free, nutritious food on Saturdays to anyone who asks for it. We do not ask for identification or proof of income. We are run by volunteers from our church and the wider community. In 2022, we provide free food to about 270 heads of household and serve over 1,000 individuals every week. On Sundays, volunteers provide free diapers and period products to dozens of individuals. Our Diaper Pantry is also a thriving program.
  • Through the SOLACE Interfaith Detention Center Visitation Project, volunteers provide a caring and compassionate presence and affirm the humanity and value of people held in detention. 
  • Building partnerships with organizations.
  • Advocating for immigrant’s rights.
  •  Participating in service projects.
  •  Giving away our generosity offerings.
  •  Supporting the Interfaith Homeless  Shelter.
  •  Responding to needs for immediate witness.
  • Through our partnerships with local organizations, we also participate in several annual events: Day of the Child, South Bay Pride, and Earth Day.
South Bay Singers Rehearsal
Sundays, 11:45 am — 1 pm, South Bay Campus. For details contact [email protected].

Community Building
After service, Social Hour is a great place for members and visitors to get to know one another over coffee, tea and light snacks.  For visitors, there’s also an opportunity to ask questions and get oriented at our Welcome Table each Sunday. If you’ve been attending for a while and are considering making First UU your church home, you can find out more about membership by speaking with the South Bay Coordinator or Intern Minister. Every other month, the South Bay Neighborhood Group meets and has a potluck at a different member’s home. This is a great way to get to know UUs that live in the South Bay. Look for details in South Bay Newsletter for the next potluck. Throughout the year, we also honor the holidays and seasons with different community activities, including: our annual Tamalada, building the Day of the Dead Altar, Resurrection Art at Easter, and Caroling in the winter.

Easter Flower Communion
Caregiving
The South Bay Caregivers Network supports the needs of our members & friends. Services we may provide include:
  •  Rides to church or medical appointments
  •  Emergency meals & grocery shopping
  •  Homes visits, phone calls and supercards
  •  Loan of medical equipment
  •  Referrals to community resources
 Trained lay ministers are also available as a listening presence after service each Sunday.
