​We are people of all ages, people of many backgrounds, and people of many beliefs. We are strong minded , curious, compassionate and doers. We live and worship in a spiritually inclusive community beyond boundaries, working for more justice and more love in our own lives and in the world. Join us for a service dedicated to those seekers and doers who relish an open ended search for truth, meaning, and community.

Sept. 11, 2001, changed more than the skyline of New York City - the attacks changed a generation of Americans, our Army and our world. That day's destruction and devastation did not condemn this country to a future filled with fear. No, this loss, as profound as it was, did not break the soul of this nation. We continue to be a land with many souls striving to be the best they can be!  Join us as we consider all we are and yet may become.

Our Water Communion marks the traditional start of the congregational year, it is a time of ingathering, of coming back together after the summer. This year we can’t meet in person to mingle together the waters we collected over the summer, as has been our tradition for so many years. Instead, you are invited to send a picture or short video (five seconds or less, no talking) of yourself with water, which will be shared as part of the worship service. Since so many people did not travel this summer, the picture could be of water from your sink or travels from a previous year. Please bring a glass of drinkable water and have it nearby you for the ritual during service.

life-changing services for homeless youth 24 hours a day at virtually every street corner in Southern Nevada. NPHY’s wraparound programs stabilize young people’s lives, meeting their immediate needs and providing a safe, supportive environment and a path to self-sufficiency. NPHY’s individualized, holistic services empower young people to not only achieve long-term independence, but to craft the futures they want for themselves. Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth (NPHY) began in 2000 as a group of community members fighting legal barriers that were preventing homeless youth from accessing life-saving services

​NPHY falls under UUCLV's 2nd Principle: Justice, equity and compassion in human relations
