Worship. Learn. Serve. Belong.
At High Street, we believe that spiritual growth happens not in isolation—but in community. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a longtime member, there’s a place for you and your family here.
We gather each week to remember what matters most: love, justice, connection, and hope. And we live those values through worship, learning, music, care for each other, and action in the world.

Social Justice Team
Meet the Social Justice Team at High Street UU Church
At High Street Unitarian Universalist Church, we believe that faith in action is love with legs—and that our values must move beyond the sanctuary and into the world. That’s where our Social Justice Team comes in.
Rooted in the Unitarian Universalist commitment to equity, compassion, and the inherent worth and dignity of every person, our Social Justice Team acts as the heart of our outward-facing ministry. This team organizes, collaborates, and shows up—again and again—for causes that matter in Middle Georgia and beyond.
✊ What We Do
The Social Justice Team works to educate, advocate, and activate our congregation and community through:
🔹 Partnerships & Coalitions
We actively collaborate with local organizations and interfaith partners such as:
Downtown Interfaith Tapestry
Georgia Equality
Centenary UMC’s Outreach Programs
Bread for the World
Macon Pride
and more.
🔹 Direct Actions & Events
From marching in parades to staffing shelters, hosting food drives, or showing up at city hall, we’re regularly involved in:
LGBTQ+ advocacy & Macon Pride events
Interfaith Thanksgiving & MLK Services
Homelessness support and cold-weather shelter programs
Voter registration and get-out-the-vote campaigns
Educational forums on systemic racism, environmental justice, and reproductive rights
🔹 Youth & Family Involvement
We love when young people and families engage with justice work! Whether it’s decorating posters for an advocacy event, writing letters to lawmakers, or participating in the Interfaith Mission Camp, we help make social action accessible for all ages.
💬 Why It Matters
Justice work isn’t extra—it’s essential. It’s how we practice love beyond belief. It’s how we answer the call of conscience and make real the values we hold dear inside our walls.
Whether it’s welcoming the stranger, protecting the planet, or standing with the marginalized, our Social Justice Team helps us live our principles out loud.

Downtown Interfaith Tapestry
What it is:
The Downtown Interfaith Tapestry (also called the Downtown Tapestry) is an ecumenical and interfaith coalition of downtown Macon congregations. This group of clergy and laity from diverse religious traditions comes together to build relationships, support shared ministries, and coordinate community events and responses
Founding & Purpose:
Formed under the leadership of community-builder Rev. Ted Goshorn of Mulberry Street UMC.
Designed to foster collaboration across faiths, embrace diversity, and offer joint responses to local needs—such as interfaith youth camps, holiday services, and emergency aid .
Key Programs & Activities:
Interfaith Mission Camp: A weeklong camp where local children (Grades 1–8) visit multiple downtown houses of worship, learn about varied religious traditions, and participate in service projects together. Hosted at Temple Beth Israel and other Tapestry partners
Interfaith Thanksgiving Service: Annual multifaith gathering with prayers, music, and reflections at Temple Beth Israel, fostering unity and gratitude
Emergency Shelter & Social Support: In winter or crisis periods, Tapestry congregations unite to open shelters and provide services to individuals experiencing homelessness .
Pride Outreach: Members join forces to support Macon Pride events—like the “Angel Brigade”—and show solidarity with LGBTQ+ community
Who’s Involved:
Downtown Tapestry includes Mulberry Street UMC, Temple Beth Israel, Centenary UMC, High Street UU Church, and other downtown faith communities.
The coalition is interfaith, multiracial, and oriented toward social justice and community solidarity.
Why it matters:
Encourages deep, sustained relationships across faith lines in a time of polarization.
Federates energy and resources to address urgent community needs together.
Creates educational opportunities—especially for youth—to experience religious diversity firsthand.
Strengthens Macon’s culture of inclusion, shared values, and mutual care.
