    Very welcoming to visitors! We enjoy attending services and will continue to attend. The music is…read morebeautiful, as well as being of service to others.

    I was drawn to the beautiful structure that is hard to miss, towering over the local homes. The…read morechurch was founded in 1865 and built the original church building two years later. The marker is in front of the church and has the same text on both sides. It reads, "This Neo-Gothic church was dedicated on May 15, 1927, Detroit architect W. E. N. Hunter designed the limestone structure, which contains stained-glass windows by the Willet Studios of Philadelphia, Pewabic tile from Detroit and wood carvings by German carver Alois Lang. The tower houses a forty-seven-bell carillon. In 1962 the education wing was erected. The church was dedicated to the founders, who organized the nondenominational Grosse Pointe Protestant Evangelical Church on September 7, 1865. In 1867 the first church was erected at Kerby Road and Lake Shore Drive. A stone and wood-frame building, referred to as the "ivy-covered church," was built on this site in 1894. In 1920 the congregation reorganized as a Presbyterian church." It mentions that it was erected in 1991 by the Bureau of History. There is street parking and of course the church parking lot. The building was closed and secured when we stopped by. [Review 17973 overall - 366 in Michigan - 1494 of 2022.]

    I had the chance to visit Grosse Pointe Unitarian Church this past spring and really enjoyed my…read moretime there. It's a smaller congregation, which gave the whole experience a comfortable and personal feel. The round sanctuary is also really unique and makes the service feel much more like everyone is gathered together rather than simply watching something from the pews. What I especially appreciated was how much this congregation seems to live its UU values outside of Sunday morning. They have a strong commitment to social justice and service, including food assistance, supporting Detroit-area students, LGBTQ+ inclusion, and environmental justice. They are also an official Welcoming Congregation. As a UU visiting from out of town, I felt comfortable being there. There was no pressure to believe a certain way, just that familiar UU encouragement to ask questions, keep learning, care about one another, and try to leave the community a little better than we found it. If you're in the Grosse Pointe or Detroit area and have been curious about Unitarian Universalism, this would be a great congregation to visit. You don't need to have your beliefs figured out before walking through the door. That's kind of the pointe!

I've met self identified Christians, Buddhists, Sufis, Atheists, and Pagans here to name just a few! I appreciate that the parish interviews, votes, and offers the choice of employment to a pastor rather than being assigned one from some higher authority. As a result, each UU church I've been to round the country has its own personality. Dr. Alex Reigel serves here. He is a well accredited on paper, and thoroughly accredited in life experience through his spiritual exploration. Grateful that he shares the snippets of wisdom he has garnered with the parish. This church houses the local PFLAG chapter, has an active choir (one for adults and one for kids), a huge religious education program, retreats, classes, and book clubs for adults, dinner benefits, a thrift shop... A LOT. Many of the members are active in groups outside of church, such as the NAACP. Worth swinging by if seeking a little enlightenment and fellowship on a Sunday at 10:30 am! Coffee or lemonade follow each service, dependent upon season :)
