Our Congregation

What is Unitarian Universalism?

Unitarian Universalism is a liberal, non-credal religion. Our congregation has a wide variety of beliefs.

Many of us come from a Christian tradition, and still hold some Christian beliefs. Others are humanist, believing in humanity as the source of spiritual inspiration, and focusing on human values and concerns.

Some of our members embrace earth-centered, nature-based religious beliefs. Others draw inspiration from the Eastern Religions.  

Most of us still consider ourselves spiritual explorers; our beliefs evolve as our spiritual and intellectual understanding and experiences continue to shape us.
