Our Vision & Mission

Love is the doctrine of this church.
The quest for truth its sacrament,
And service its prayer.

To dwell together in peace,
To seek knowledge in freedom,
To serve human need,
To the end that all souls shall grow
into harmony with the Divine —
Thus do we covenant with each other.

A Living Faith

Whether in community with others or as an individual, active, tangible expressions of love, justice, and peace are what make a difference. Seven days a week, Unitarian Universalists try to live their faith by doing.

  • Weekly Worship—In-person Sunday morning worship
  • Connection & Inspiration— Community traditions and small group opportunities between Sundays for adults, children, and families
  • Action & Service—Volunteering, caring outreach, mutual support, work for justice, and stewardship
  • Seasonal Celebrations & Rites of Passage—Holiday gatherings, weddings, child dedications, coming-of-age, and community traditions
