In the Judeo-Christian tradition, the word “grace” is defined as an unmerited gift from God. In other words, good friends or a loving family are blessings bestowed upon us by the Creator even though we did nothing to earn them. As Unitarian Universalists, how might we understand the word “grace”? How might this understanding influence the way we give and receive?

Rev. Terry Davis pursued Unitarian Universalist ministry after a 25-year career in corporate communications. She has served as the minister of UU congregations in St. Louis and Atlanta, as well as the resident chaplain of the women’s maternity center at Atlanta’s Emory University Hospital.

A native of Washington, DC, Rev. Davis earned her Master of Divinity degree from Candler School of Theology in Atlanta in 2008, and was ordained at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta in 2010, where she was a 20-year active member. She recently consulted for the UUA office of Stewardship and Development and served as the Transitions Coach for the ministerial search committee of the UU Church of Chattanooga. Rev. Davis currently provides pulpit supply to UU congregations in Western North Carolina.

Terry has been with her spouse Gail for over 24 years’ they have been legally married since 2013. Along with Miles, their adopted Husky mix, they make their home in Asheville.

We gather for worship and fellowship each Sunday with a service at 10:30 followed by coffee hour. Dress is casual. Parking is plentiful. And our building is accessible.

Family Ministry / Sunday School: All Ages meet in Sanctuary at 10:30 AM Children go to classrooms at 10:45 after the “Story for All Ages.” On the lower level, we have a nursery for infants and toddlers, and we have classes where children and youth learn about and explore faith, religion, justice, and community.
