Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington, Brutalist church structure in Arlington County, United States

The Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington is a concrete church building designed by Charles M. Goodman in 1964, featuring geometric forms and expansive windows. The bright interior sanctuary is shaped by these windows, which flood the space with natural light and create an open feeling throughout.

The church was founded in 1948 as the first Unitarian congregation in Washington D.C.'s suburbs, marking the spread of liberal religion to the region. The concrete building constructed in 1964 reflects the modernization the congregation underwent during that period.

The congregation's name reflects its Unitarian Universalist identity, formed when the Unitarian Church of Arlington became independent of All Souls Church in Washington, D.C. in 1948. During the Civil Rights Movement it was the only church in Virginia to speak out in favour of racial integration, and in the 2000s it worked with sexual minorities, including campaigning for the legalisation of same-sex marriage in Virginia.

The sanctuary stands at 4444 Arlington Boulevard (U.S. 50), at the corner of South George Mason Drive, set back from the road behind wide steps with black metal handrails. The 1964 Goodman sanctuary is the concrete Brutalist building with the tall glazed gable; the earlier brick Colonial Revival buildings and the 1958 parsonage stand on the adjoining lot. Enter through the glass doors at the base of the gable.

The building is one of only three church structures designed by architect Charles M. Goodman. It earned a place on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014, recognizing its architectural and cultural importance.
