The Seven Principles

First Universalist Unitarian Church of Wausau upholds and affirms the following seven Principles that serve as integral values and an ethical compass.

What We Believe

Unitarian Universalist is a non-creedal religion. While we do not have traditional doctrines or dogma, these seven Principles have emerged from the grassroots of our communities and have been democratically affirmed, forming an essential part of our collective identity as Unitarian Universalists.

  • 1st Principle: The inherent worth and dignity of every person;
  • 2nd Principle: Justice, equity, and compassion in human relations;
  • 3rd Principle: Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations;
  • 4th Principle: A free and responsible search for truth and meaning;
  • 5th Principle: The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large;
  • 6th Principle: The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all;
  • 7th Principle: Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.

We live out these Principles within a dynamic “living tradition” of wisdom and spirituality enriched by six sources.

"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." — Rev. Barbara Wells ten Hove

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.

We create change: in ourselves, in the world. These are the ways we do it:

  • 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
