As a democratic, self-guided church, we have no hierarchical organizations that control our local congregations. However, cooperation has always been essential for human survival and advancement.

Unitarian Universalists have created a variety of relationships to enable us to work together as a denomination. These occur on regional, state and national levels.

Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregation is our national organization. It was created in 1961 from the merger of the Universalist Church of America and the American Unitarian Association. In a time of religious schism and division, this is a fascinating one-hundred year journey of negotiation. We belong to the St. Lawrence District, which covers all of upstate NY.
