We welcome you to join us Sunday mornings! Visitors are welcome to join our services and activities at any time. We encourage you to stop by the welcome table during our community social time and drop in for a brief guest orientation. For a more extensive orientation to USSB's history, facilities and worship, come to getting acquainted.  Our path to membership classes are held monthly. Sunday morning services are at 9:15 and 11:00 AM every Sunday. Please come join us for a cup of coffee during the community social time between the services.

USSB has begun forming a "Parking Ministry" to aid people with mobility issues.  Check this site for updates on how to take advantage of this helping hand.

Off-street parking is available all around USSB's neighborhood, which includes three full blocks of public parks.  If you are early, energized and able bodied, we encourage you to park a little farther away from our building and enjoy the walk, leaving the closest spaces for those who need them most.
