Emerson Church Unitarian Universalist (ECUU), founded in 1962, is also known as the
historic “barn church” due to it being an official registered State of Michigan historic site
and a former dairy barn.
Our church is of the Unitarian Universalist (UU) faith, which has a deep and diverse history,
dating back to sixteenth century Transylvania and nineteenth century America (our
Unitarian side), as well as to eighteenth century America (our Universalist roots). In 1961,
Unitarians and Universalists consolidated to form the Unitarian Universalist Association
(UUA).
The following year, 1962, Emerson Church was established. Our first services were held in
the Emerson Elementary School in nearby Royal Oak. After successive moves to the Morse
Elementary School in Troy and the Stagecrafters Theatre Group Playhouse in Clawson, we
moved to our current location in 1973.
