Look for the corresponding colored icons throughout this entire website to see how we put these values to work for us...and for you.
We Value Compassion 
●Compassion is the flame that inspires and illuminates our shared journey.
●We believe that when our hearts are filled with love, our hands will be moved to acts of kindness and social justice.
●We affirm that the measure of our faith journey is not the brilliance of our ideas but the generosity of our lives.
●Service is our prayer.
We Value Inclusion 
●We work to eradicate artificial barriers that separate humanity.
●We welcome all souls who share or seek to understand our Unitarian Universalist ideals.
●We don’t have to believe alike to love alike.
We Value Spiritual Growth 
●We seek to honor that which is sacred in our lives and in each other.
●Recognition of the mysteries of the universe leads us to respect and honor each person’s sincere search for meaning, enlightenment, and spiritual development.
●We are committed to lifespan religious education in our congregation because we realize that spiritual development is for all ages and is enriched by diverse beliefs.
We Value Inquiry 
●We value science, philosophy, literature, and the world’s great religions as sources of wisdom.
●We believe in intellectual freedom and encourage each individual’s ongoing, free, and responsible search for truth and meaning.
●We are committed to the intellectual growth and moral development of our children, youth, and adults.
We Value Celebration

●We cherish the rituals which connect us in good times and comfort us in dark times.
●We believe in the joy of fellowship and fun for its own sake.
