Our Beliefs

In Unitarian Universalism, you can bring your whole self: your full identity, your questioning mind, your expansive heart. All are welcome; all of who you are is welcome.

​

Together, we’re more powerful than one person or one belief system. As UUs, we don’t have to check our personal backgrounds and beliefs at the door. We join together on a journey that honors everywhere we’ve been before.

 

Our beliefs are diverse and inclusive. We have no shared creed. Our shared covenant (our seven Principles) supports “the free and responsible search for truth and meaning.” Unitarianism and Universalism both grew out of liberal Christian traditions, but this responsible search has led us to an inclusive spirituality drawn from six sources. These are wide-ranging: from scriptural wisdom to personal experience to modern day heroes.

 

Unitarian Universalists believe more than one thing. We think for ourselves, and reflect together, about important questions:

​

• The existence of a Higher Power

• Life and Death

• Sacred Texts

• Inspiration and Guidance

• Prayer and Spiritual Practices

 

We are united in our broad and inclusive outlook, and in our values, as expressed in our Seven Principles. We are united in shared experience: our open and stirring worship services, religious education, and rites of passage; our work for social justice; our quest to include the marginalized; our expressions of love.
