Our Values

We Value Compassion

​Compassion provides 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
