What we’re about
The First Unitarian Universalist Society of San Francisco (UUSF) is a welcoming community to all who seek a congregation grounded in love, committed to caring for one another, supporting one other in spiritual growth, and dedicated to building a compassionate, just and sustainable world.
Our Unitarian Universalist (UU) faith believes that love is the power that holds us together and is at the center of our UU shared values. We are accountable to one another for doing the work of living our shared values through the spiritual discipline of Love. Inseparable from one another, these shared values are: Interdependence; Pluralism; Justice; Transformation; Generosity; Equity.
We support and encourage a lifetime pursuit of spiritual growth and learning for all ages. Through classes, programs, workshops, community events, rituals, rites of passage and worship. All are welcome at UUSF, regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, national origin, immigration status, religion or disability.
We invite you to join us for an event, program, or at worship!

UUSF 20s and 30s Community is the young adult body at UUSF.
Like many faith communities, UUSF skews older. To transform this fact, UUSF offers programming for young adults to connect with their peers and get their spiritual needs met. We also support young adults throughout the congregation; we show up everywhere, from the choir to the board!Our programming and events are open to all aged 18-39, whether you are brand new to Unitarian Universalism or a longtime friend at UUSF.

Starr King Way Performance Series (SKWPS)
Join us for an incredible performance from Italian-born guitarist and musicologist Giacomo Fiore!
Giacomo has premiered more than three dozen new works for justly tuned electric and classical guitars and released several recordings for Other Minds, Populist, Cold Blue, Pinna, Spectropol, Paper Garden Records, and his own impressum.
As a scholar, his research focuses on U.S. experimental music, intonation, and performance; he has published articles in Music Theory Spectrum, the Journal of the Society for American Music, and TEMPO, and he writes occasionally for Classical Guitar and SFCV. He teaches a wide range of historical and practical music courses at the University of San Francisco and UC Santa Cruz. Giacomo is a member of Ninth Planet New Music (the chamber group formerly known as Wild Rumpus) and an occasional performer for New Music Works, sfSound, and other Bay Area organizations.
The concert will take place in the Sanctuary. $20 suggested donation at the door, but no one is turned away for lack of funds.

In 2025, we began our second season of the Starr King Way Performance Series (SKWPS). Curated by Nancy Munn and Mark Sumner, professional staff musicians at UUSF, SKWPS features a diverse array of artistic talent that reflects the progressive vision of our revered and historic institution.
