Northwest Unitarian Universalist Congregation

Northwest Unitarian Universalist Congregation is a church in Sandy Springs situated on a wooded property spanning about five acres. The main building shares the grounds with the Chalice House, a separate structure used for education and religious programs.

The congregation was founded in 1969 as an outreach of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta in the northwestern suburbs. It grew from the desire to serve people seeking an alternative approach to spiritual exploration.

The congregation welcomes people from all belief systems and backgrounds, creating a space where visitors can participate in discussions and community work. The place functions as a gathering point where members explore their values together without rigid doctrinal expectations.

The congregation holds services on Sunday mornings and provides assistive listening devices along with wheelchair accessibility for attendees. The property is situated on Mount Vernon Highway Northwest with parking available for visitors.

The Hungry Ear coffee house on the grounds has operated as a venue since 1982, supporting local artists and addressing social issues. It ranks among Atlanta's longest-running spaces of its kind, reflecting the congregation's long involvement with artistic support and activism.
