Chalice Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of the Conejo Valley - Newbury Park (CA)

5 /5 Chad ryan krause: Extremely friendly church to everyone. Its hard to notice unless you know its their. Since its located in 2 separate office looking buildings. Ones the main church and the other is the sanctuary.

5 /5 matthew chapa: The nature of these times has many looking for a respite from the madness where good people find space & grace to share love & fellowship in pursuit of spiritual growth. As an Atheist, Board member, Worship Associate, and congregant I find the people here to be a glorious cadre of people that I enjoy sharing time, space, and spiritual growth without judgement and lots of joy!

2 /5 john townsend: Dishonesty: For the costume contest at the Halloween-themed auction dinner, a "ballot-stuffing" plan was announced where attenders could "buy votes" for your own costume or for someone else. The one who buys the most votes would win his/her choice. This was to replace the honest "one person, one vote" system in order to raise additional funds for the fellowship. When a congregant at the service was upset at this new plan, Rev. Nica responded, "I am sorry you are upset about something that was probably a joke". This plan was not a joke; it was a real plan presented as such. The ministers comment, in my opinion was an attempt to gaslight the congregants concern. This violates the Fifth Principle of the Seven Principles of Unitarian Universalism relates to the right of conscience and the use of democratic processes in UU organizations. By attending several UU congregations in the Southern California area, I have noticed that several of them seem to gladly or quickly compromise their principles when gaining money for their congregations. Be careful! Watch out!

5 /5 Erika Dahle: Amazing organization that promotes love, kindness, and making the world a better place for all of us. Fantastic integrated program for our children. We love it here!

4 /5 R. pizzamonkey: Unlike most churches, very accepting of all sorts of beliefs and types of people. All you need is a set of some common values like respect and democracy, and youll fit right in!
