What We Believe Video
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.
As Unitarian Universalists, we covenant and affirm to promote 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 congregations 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.
MISSION
UUMAN’s mission is simple:
- Nurture the Spirit;
- Strive for Justice;
- Transform the World.
VISION
To be a vital and visible community for all, bravely working toward the day when social, economic, and environmental justice is a reality.
- Embracing wonder and awe, I feel part of something larger than myself and strive to act selflessly on behalf of all living things.
- To deepen my connections, I assume best intentions, offer support, and create opportunities for fun that bond and energize the community.
- With love, I commit to speak my truth, listen to the truth of others, and ask for and offer understanding and forgiveness.
- With courage, respect, and a willingness to grow, we move from Me to We, knowing that, together, we can face challenges with integrity and purpose.
- Recognizing that our individual differences make us collectively stronger, we partner beyond our walls to build a just society.
- We make this covenant with each other…so that, together, we can transform our world.
