The Alliance of the Grosse Pointe Unitarian Church has dedicated itself to the mission of furthering fellowship and service. We have luncheon program meetings at noon on the second Tuesday of each month, from October through June.
All church members and friends are welcome and eligible for membership. New members are enthusiastically welcomed, but for those who cannot be as active as they would like because of family responsibilities or a work schedule, your supportive membership is encouraged!
The Clearance Corner in the Annex is our main source of funds. A number of our members also volunteer at the church's Resale Shop.
