In Unitarian Universalism, you can bring your whole self: your full identity, your questioning mind, your expansive heart.

We are brave, curious and compassionate thinkers and doers. We create spirituality and community beyond boundaries, working for more justice and more love in our own lives and in the world.

Unitarian Universalism draws from our heritages of freedom, reason, hope, and courage, building on the foundation of love. We covenant, congregation-to-congregation and through our Association, to support and assist one another in our ministries.

Love is the power that holds us together and is at the center of our shared values. The values we share include all the following, which we hold as inseparable and deeply interconnected:

  • Interdependence: We honor the interdependent web of all existence and acknowledge our place in it.
  • Pluralism: We are all sacred beings, diverse in culture, experience, and theology.
  • Justice: We work to be diverse multicultural Beloved Communities where all feel welcome and can thrive.
  • Transformation: We adapt to the changing world.
  • Generosity: We cultivate a spirit of gratitude and hope.
  • Equity: We declare that every person is inherently worthy and has the right to flourish with dignity, love, and compassion.

A note on our history: In 2019, USG voted to adopt the proposed 8th Principle- a commitment to building a diverse, multicultural Beloved Community by actively dismantling racism and other oppressions. That commitment lives on in the values above, especially Justice and Equity, and continues through our ongoing anti-racism work.

We are a Welcoming Congregation, recognized by the Unitarian Universalist Association. We affirm and include LGBTQ+ people at every level of congregational life. In worship, in program, and in social occasions; including officiating same-sex weddings and advocating for LGBTQ+ justice in the wider world.

We are a Free Thinker Friendly Congregation, recognized by the Unitarian Universalist Association. We welcome atheists, agnostics, humanists, and theists alike to participate fully in the life of the congregation. This is a tradition UU communities have upheld for over a century.

Together, we create a force more powerful than one person or one belief system. As Unitarian Universalists, we do not have to check our personal background and beliefs at the door: we join together on a journey that honors everywhere we’ve been before.
