Northwest Unitarian Universalist Congregation
Northwest Unitarian Universalist Congregation (Northwest) was organized in 1969. The organization of Northwest was the result of action taken by the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta (UUCA) to establish a new congregation in the northwest suburbs of Atlanta.
Sunday services and religious education programs were initially held in rented spaces. In 1976 the congregation moved to its newly constructed facility on a five-acre wooded lot in Sandy Springs, Georgia. In 1987, an additional building called the Chalice House was built to support the congregation's religious education program.
In 2000, Northwest was designated as a Welcoming Congregation ensuring that the LGBTQ community could find a spiritual home at Northwest. In 2011, Northwest was recognized as an Accredited Green Sanctuary.
Northwest is a Fair Share Congregation of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA).
In January 1966, when the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta (UUCA) moved into its newly built facility at 1911 Cliff Valley Way NE, Atlanta, Georgia, Sunday attendance reached 480 with 391 children enrolled in the religious education program. Over the next several months, membership growth continued. On September 11 of that same year, two Sunday services were implemented. The second Sunday service was considered only an interim step to address overcrowding with the ultimate solution being the establishment of another congregation or fellowship.
It was anticipated that this two Sunday service configuration would accommodate a congregation of 800 – 1000 members. In March 1967, UUCA minister Rev. Eugene Pickett reported that membership stood at 781.
To accommodate anticipated future growth, the Long Range Planning Committee investigated holding a third Sunday service. However, to minimize impact on the new facility and reduce scheduling complications, it was recommended that a third service be held off site and be the basis for establishing a new Unitarian Universalist society.
In the fall of 1967 with UUCA Sunday attendance averaging 750—900, a new society called the Central Unitarian Society was established. This new society initially met at the Georgia Tech YMCA on 10th Street, but later relocated to the Fulton County Medical Building at 875 West Peachtree Street. This new society, however, failed to relieve growth pressures at UUCA.
