Sancturary and Livestream on our Website 72425 Via Vail, Rancho Mirage, CA

Worship Leader: Rev. Ian W. Riddell
Worship Associate: Julia Alberg-Burbank
Crafting deeper and richer friendships and kinship is a vital tool in combatting the growing separation and erosion of social norms in our communities.

Formula on the Fourth

Introduced by the Social Justice Committee in January 2023. Donate formula, which will be given to Galilee Center for distribution to their families with babies.

On October 19, 1959, Unitarians in the Coachella Valley gathered for the first time at the Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce office. Since then, this community has grown and thrived, through struggle and wandering in the desert, through ministers coming and going, through dreaming and hard work. And here we are, 65 years later, stronger than ever! Join us on this joyful day as we celebrate our history and our coming back together at the beginning of this church year and as we look together toward the future. And after the service, there will be birthday cake!!!
