Our Beliefs
At a recent workshop, our members talked about our what we value
about our church.
The same things kept coming up over and over in the things we
mentioned:
-
Caring, Friendship, and Community -
Our church is a warm community where friendships happen and
where people feel cared for.
-
Welcoming - We're welcoming in every
way, and proud of being an official
Welcoming Congregation, welcoming to gay, lesbian,
bisexual, and transgender people as members with full
participation at every level.
-
Helping Others - We believe in
helping others both in our church and outside of our church
walls through our social mission. We care deeply about
each other and we care deeply about the world.
-
The UU
Principles - Our grounding in our UU identity keeps
us connected to the larger movement and to our religious
roots.
-
Tolerance for Ideas - We believe in
freedom of the pulpit and freedom of the pew. We
welcome new thoughts and religious questioning.
-
Tolerance and Appreciation for Others -
Our diversity is not just a strength, it's something we
deeply value. Our religious diversity of Christians,
Atheists, Pagans, and others worshipping together makes us
unique and is something we love about our congregation.
-
Social Action in the World - Our
church has a vital social
mission that is an important part of our understanding
of our religion.
-
Growth - For us, growth means not
just growth in numbers, but growth in spirit and growth in
understanding what our mission is
and how we live it out.
