Who We Are

Who We Are

Unitarian Universalism is an intentionally creed less religion with many centuries of history. Rather than provide a single set of beliefs, UU's believe that each person has both the right and the responsibility to develop their own beliefs in matters of religion, and that we do this best in the context of a nurturing and challenging community. UU does not offer THE answer, rather it encourages individuals to question and develop their own framework of beliefs within a loving atmosphere.
We are a democratic society. The congregation votes on major issues such as calling a minister, appointing Board members, approving the budget, changing by-laws, setting goals, etc. at Annual and Special meetings of members. The Board of Trustees oversees the day to day operations with input from the various Councils and Committees.

What We Do

What We Do

We are brave, curious, and compassionate thinkers and doers.
We are diverse in faith, ethnicity, history and spirituality, but aligned in our desire to make a difference for the good.
We have a track record of standing on the side of love, justice, and peace. We have radical roots and a history as self-motivated spiritual people: we think for ourselves and recognize that life experience influences our beliefs more than anything. We need not think alike to love alike. We are people of many beliefs and backgrounds: people with a religious background, people with none, people who believe in a God, people who don’t, and people who let the mystery be.
