Our present location on the corner of Ann Arbor-Saline and Ellsworth Roads is the fourth home for the FUUAA since its founding in 1865 as the First Unitarian Society of Ann Arbor. Two of our former homes are registered historic buildings. (Click to view photos of earlier UU churches in Ann Arbor.)

Built in 1998 on 45 acres of grasslands and woodlands, and offering several panoramic views of the countryside, the present building was designed by local architect David Osler, recipient of numerous honors and awards.

In November, 2004 we finished and dedicated our bright and cheerful Religious Education Wing.

Our beautiful 45 acres of land includes a prairie, organic gardens, an outdoor worship area and walking trails. Our Site Master Plan, adopted in January 2005, guides our use of the land.
