OUR HISTORY History

Each of us has a heritage. And so it is with institutions. It is that from our past upon which we build in the present for the future.

That institution we call The Unitarian Universalist Church in Cherry Hill has a proud heritage dating back to the 1950 to 1956 time period during which the stirrings of UUism in Southern New Jersey started with about two dozen people. In 1956 we took the first formal step and became The Unitarian Fellowship of South Jersey. In 2002 we dedicated a new complex of buildings, installed our sixth called minister and embarked upon a fresh, new path.

In between those startings and this present were many successes, a few failures and the expenditure of much caring and energy. This is our story.

For both visitors to this site and for our members interested in knowing more about the history of their church, we have the following three items for your perusal:

• History of the Unitarian Universalist Church in Cherry Hill - 1954-2001
( This brief history of UUCCH was written in 2001 by Louise Marshall and members of a Ministerial Search Committee.)

• "Building Our Dream" program.
(Read about our $2.6 million dollar, 8 year expansion program.)

• "Building Our Dream" photo album.
(With 20 photos of the details of the BOD program, the excitement of that project is recorded for members to show their friends and for visitors to enjoy.)
