Unitarian Universalism and our Principles

Our church belongs to the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA), and this section will highlight many of the roles of the UUA (uua.org). There is a wide range of Unitarian Universalist beliefs.

Our Unitarian Universalist congregation affirms and promotes seven Principles, which we hold as strong values and moral guides. We live out these Principles within a “living tradition” of wisdom and spirituality, drawn from sources as diverse as science, poetry, scripture, and personal experience.

As Rev. Barbara Wells ten Hove explains, “The Principles are not dogma or doctrine, but rather a guide for those of us who choose to join and participate in Unitarian Universalist religious communities.”

Unitarian Universalist Association Ministries

While our church has its own set of ministries that we focus on (see our Ministries page), the UUA also has ministries that they feel are important. Below you will find a just few of the Associations Ministries that we, as Unitarian Universalists, also feel are important to our work in the church, and the world.
