What is your denomination?
We are a Reform congregation and we are officially affiliated with the Union for Reform Judaism. Our services utilize the Mishkan T’Filah: A Reform Siddur, and our Rabbinical visits are from educators and students of Hebrew Union College. Our services are open to all individuals.
What kind of people and families belong to UHC?
Our congregation is made up of all sorts of people! We have many families who have always been a part of this community, as well as members new to the area. There are families and singles, many with diverse backgrounds. We welcome all individuals to attend our services.
Do you welcome interfaith households?
Yes, we welcome interfaith households. One spouse does need to be Jewish (by birth or conversion), however, to apply for membership. Our congregation currently has several interfaith families and we welcome you.

Do you welcome LGBTQ+ Households?
Yes, we welcome LGBTQ+ families. Our faith compels us to treat one another with respect and love, and these concepts very much extend to those within the LGBT community.

What if I can’t afford a membership?
No one will be turned away for financial reasons. Although dues are a necessary part of remaining a functioning community, it is the people of the community that makes us strong. For more information on this please contact us and someone will be in touch with you.
What are ways I can become more involved?
All are welcome at our Friday evening services. We also try to offer Judaism 101 or Adult Education classes, as well as Religious School classes for eligible children. All women are encouraged to attend Sisterhood meetings. To be notified of upcoming events you can receive our bulletin or visit our Facebook page for regular announcements!
