The Church of the River, located in Memphis, Tennessee, is a member of the Unitarian Universalist Association, a liberal religious tradition.
Each congregation has its own covenant, or statement of purpose, which describes the spirit of how members are united in religious community.
To this end, all activities of the church shall be conducted without distinction related to race, color, sexual orientation, gender identity or previous religious affiliations; and the right of private judgment and the sacredness of individual conviction shall be recognized in all things.
To join our church is to walk with other members of the congregation in the spirit of our covenant.
The building, constructed from an award-winning design by architect and church member Roy Harrover,[3] features five floor-to-ceiling windows in the sanctuary that look out over the river.
