General Info

We are also proud to be a Welcoming Congregation. Having fulfilled the requirements of our denomination to be a Welcoming Congregation, " Wakefield UU Church is intentional about celebrating the presence and full participation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons in all aspects of congregational life. We also welcome all persons regardless of race, economic status, theological and political perspective, or other distinctions that keep us from embracing our common humanity. We acknowledge that we still have work to do and we welcome your advice. We are located in downtown Wakefield, a block from Lake Quannapowitt and across the street from the Post Office. First erected in 1839 and modified several times after that, it is the oldest church building in town. It has survived two fires and three lightning strikes. The spire will, however, never be struck by lightning again! As the first step to major and necessary repairs and renovations, we had our spire removed on October 7, 2008.
