We are a Unitarian church in the progressive Christian tradition where people from many religious backgrounds have found a home.
Rev. Mark Caggiano’s sermons routinely weave history and current events with lessons from the Old and New Testaments and, at times, his background in the law.
Music from our pipe organ and our professional quartet punctuates a simple service rooted in Anglican morning prayer first brought to Chestnut Hill from King’s Chapel in Boston.
Sunday Service & Coffee Hour:
Our services are at 10:30 on Sunday mornings, followed by a coffee hour where we meet to discuss anything and everything that’s happened during the week.
All are welcome to join us and we hope you will visit on an upcoming Sunday!

Building on our event last fall, we again partnered with the wonderful crew from the Capuchin Mobile Ministries to make sandwiches for those in need. Stay tuned for details on our next service opportunity!
