More About Mount Vernon Unitarian Church
The Mount Vernon Unitarian Church draws from all religious ideas to form this tight-knit community. Each fall, the church holds a craft fair featuring homemade goods and foods.
Parishioners can also participate in several musical programs, including jazz and choir groups. And, for something different, the church holds Yoga classes and theological discussion groups.
The church's motto is that it is a "Welcoming Congregation." As part of that initiative, church officials make efforts to support to gay, lesbian, and bisexual persons and their families.
