Sundays at Eliot Chapel

The best way to learn about Eliot Chapel is to come to a worship service. Visitors are always welcome!


We meet in our historic sanctuary each Sunday during the church year at 9:45 and 11:15 am and at 10:00 am in the summer. We livestream our service for your convenience.

  • How do I find Eliot?

    Eliot Chapel is located at 100 S. Taylor Avenue in Kirkwood, Missouri.  We are at the corner of Taylor and Argonne, across the street from the Farmer's Market.

  • Where do I park?

    There are two small lots behind the church that may be accessed from Madison (the street that runs right along the railroad tracks just south of the Chapel). There are a few spaces reserved for Visitors in the closest lot to Eliot.


    Newcomers may park in the Farmer's Market spaces on Argonne Rd. between Taylor and Kirkwood Rd, but members and friends are requested to leave these parking spaces for Farmer's Market customers.


    There are public parking lots across from the Farmer's Market and just west of the Market.

    There are also a few business lots off Argonne Rd.


    Kirkwood Electric has graciously agreed to allow Eliot Chapel congregants to park in their parking lot on Sundays from 9:00 am-1:00 pm. The Kirkwood Electric parking lot is located at 212 S. Taylor Ave., just across the railroad tracks from Eliot Chapel. There is a sidewalk that goes from their parking lot to Eliot Chapel.

  • What should I wear?

    There is no dress code at our church. People wear what they are most comfortable in, and it varies from "Sunday Best" to shorts and sandals or jeans and a sweatshirt, or anything in between.

  • What about my kids?

    Children and youth will usually attend the first 15 minutes of the 9:45 worship service with their families before being sung out to go to their class or group. Please check This Week at Eliot for current details.


    We usually offer nursery care during both services. Occasionally on  a holiday or during the summer, nursery care is unavailable. Please check This Week at Eliot for current details.


    Families may also use Adams Hall for freedom of movement while the service is livestreamed on the large-screen television.


    Check out more information about our Religious Education program.

  • What type of music will I hear?

    An inspirational blend of traditional and contemporary, selected in collaboration between the Minister and Music Director. Participants are volunteers and guest soloists.

Open Question 2: With Whom in the Broader Community Shall We Grow in Loving Relationships? – Rev. Krista Taves

This Sunday, we continue our Open Questions series. Once a quarter, we will have an open question to guide us in exploring who we are called to be in this time and place. All are welcome.

Progress Pride Flag


Each of us has worth and dignity, and that worth includes our gender and our sexuality. As Unitarian Universalists, we not only open our doors to people of all sexual orientations and gender identities, we value diversity of sexuality and gender and see it as a spiritual gift. We create inclusive religious communities and work for LGBTQ justice and equity as a core part of who we are. All of who you are is sacred. All of who you are is welcome.
