It is a both a privilege and a pleasure to serve the Bay Area Unitarian Universalist Church as Summer Minister.

The next few months will be filled with transformative worship, exciting religious education classes, a dynamite Multicultural Week starting on July 19, and new opportunities to serve our neighbors in the wider community. Amid the excitement of congregational life, my hope for us all is for a summer of true rest, rejuvenation and renewal.

Wherever this summer takes you geographically, emotionally, and spiritually, I hope you will make time to rest, reflect, and prepare for the wonderful church year to come.

In faith and gratitude,

Kristin Leigh Grassel
Summer Minister

A Church for All People

Growing in Spirit and Service Together

Bay Area Unitarian Universalist Church is a progressive faith community located in the Clear Lake area of greater Houston.

We hold diverse beliefs but are united by our faith in the worth and dignity of every person, our commitment to serving our neighbors around the corner and the globe, and the call to build a world defined by love and justice. As we say each Sunday at Bay Area, "Love is the doctrine of this church, and service is its prayer."

We hope you will join us as we strive to grow in diversity, compassion, and service, creating a church where all people are encouraged to freely explore their  theology and spirituality. This congregation is welcoming of people of all ethnicities, sexual orientations, socio-economic statuses, ages, and religious upbringings. So, come for a visit, bring the family or a friend, and be transformed this Sunday!

Songs often touch us where spoken words cannot, and that's one of music's great powers.  "Why we Sing!" shows the transformative power of gay, lesbian, and transgender choral music--how it uplifts, inspires and unites.  Narrated by Gavin Newsom, Mayor of San Francisco, "Why We Sing!" traces recent gay and transgender rights and struggles in America while showing how singers and music lovers from around the globe have been moved to change their worlds through song.
