What We Believe

Unitarian Universalism is born from Jewish and Christian traditions, but has room for many beliefs.

We hold

  • personal experience, reason, and conscience as the final religious authorities
  • ethical living as the ultimate witness of religion.



We pledge with other Unitarian Universalists to follow Seven Principles.

  • The inherent worth and dignity of every person
  • Justice, equity and compassion in human relations
  • Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations
  • A free and responsible search for truth and meaning
  • The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregation and in society at large
  • The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all
  • Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.
