We welcome you wherever you are on your journey.


Bound by courageous love, growing in spirit, and inspiring compassionate action!



The Board of Trustees is delighted to announce that on Sunday, March 3, the congregation overwhelmingly voted to affirm the recommendation of the Ministerial Search Committee to call Rev. Krista Taves as Eliot Unitarian Chapel's next settled minister. We rejoice as we look forward to Rev. Krista's ministry. 


Heartfelt gratitude goes to the members of the Search Committee – Bob Boyd, Janis Cox, Tanya Hull, Carl Serbell, and Rob van Alstyne – who shepherded the search process this past year.


Welcome to Eliot Chapel's Sunday service!

“Moving at the Speed of Trust” – Rev. Krista Taves 

There are good reasons to have a sense of urgency in our time. Climate change, the challenges to our democracy, and elusiveness of peace, to name a few, certainly demand our attention and care. But what if the way to beloved community is to slow down to the speed of trust?Featured musicians: Tim Gardner, tenor; David Nalesnik, piano; Beth Curtiss, songleader.



We now offer two services on Sunday, at 9:45 am and 11:15 am.

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 at 9:45 and 11:15 am. We livestream our service for your convenience.

  • 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.

  • 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 of all ages should attend the worship service with their family. Activity bags with crayons and UU coloring pages are available at each sanctuary entrance. Families may also use Adams Hall for freedom of movement while the service is livestreamed on the large-screen television.


    The nursery is closed from July 2 to August 6 for staff vacation. The nursery will reopen on Sunday, August 13.


    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.

Transformation: Don't Try it Alone – Rev. Dee Evans

Personal transformation is often presented as something we do through goal setting. Social transformation is often viewed the same way. What if we flipped the script? What if we said transformation depends upon being in community and only comes through community?

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.
