UUCM Acquires Squirrel Creek Property to Support Growing Congregation
Grass Valley, CA – The Unitarian Universalist Community of the Mountains (UUCM), a liberal faith tradition, has purchased the property at 12582 Squirrel Creek Rd., marking a new chapter after 25 years at its South Church Street location. Recent growth has created a need for more space for services and community events.
The purchase, finalized after a December 7th congregational vote, involved close collaboration with Bethel Church and overcoming insurance and legal hurdles. The transaction was completed on schedule thanks to swift action by all parties.
New Covenant Baptist Church will remain as tenant until March 20, 2026 while UUCM prepares for transition, including selling the 246 South Church Street building and planning a capital campaign.
UUCM has been led by Reverend Kevin Tarsa since 2016. “As more and more people with progressive values look for meaningful connection, the new campus will allow UUCM to live its values more fully, serving the wider community as well as those who are seeking a liberal religious home. The thought of a larger facility has already been liberating energy and ideas and I look forward to discovering what this property will make possible.”
They were represented by Jon Blinder and Tyson Tucker, Managing Directors, Coldwell Banker Commercial G.R.
