Welcome to UBC, a haven of healing and restoration where we acknowledge the potential for certain aspects of worship to stir unwelcome memories. In the spirit of compassion, we aspire to be a sanctuary—a safe and affirming space where you can find solace and renewal within the boundless love of God.

As the Psalmist beautifully proclaims, 'He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds' (Psalm 147:3, NIV). It is our earnest hope that this sacred space becomes a conduit for the healing touch of God's mercy, embracing you in the warmth of divine love.

In the words of Rumi, a 13th-century Persian poet and Sufi mystic, 'The wound is the place where the Light enters you.' Here, within the wideness of God's mercy, we believe that even in the midst of past hurt, there is a sacred space for transformation and renewal.

If you find yourself carrying the weight of religious trauma and wish to share your journey, our congregation is blessed with trained individuals who stand ready to offer support and understanding. Together, we navigate the path of healing, guided by the wisdom of Jesus, who said, 'Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest' (Matthew 11:28, NIV).

May this digital space mirror the welcoming embrace of our physical sanctuary. You are not alone on your healing journey; you are welcomed, cherished, and held in the loving arms of our faith community. 'The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit' (Psalm 34:18, ESV). May you find rest, renewal, and deep healing within the embrace of God's grace here at UBC.
