Being a Unitarian Universalist means taking personal responsibility for your own religious life. It means respect for the beliefs of others, and searching for shared values. We seek to provide an atmosphere of stimulating ideas, spiritual nourishment and community support so that you are free to discover the best that is in you. The wisdom of the ages, and also contemporary knowledge, give us inspiration for the intellectual, and spiritual search for truth and meaning.
Our Principles and Sources provide an inspirational framework:

Our Principles

Our Sources

Unitarian Universalists affirm and promote:
  • The inherent worth and dignity of every person;
  • Justice, equity and compassion in human relations;
  • Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth;
  • A free and responsible search for truth and meaning;
  • The rights of conscience and the use of the democratic process;
  • 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.

  • Direct experience of that transcending mystery and wonder, affirmed in all cultures, which moves us to a renewal of the spirit and an openness to the forces which create and uphold life;
  • Words and deeds of prophetic women and men which challenge us to confront powers and structures of evil with justice, compassion, and the transforming power of love;
  • Wisdom from the world’s religions which inspires us in our ethical and spiritual life;
  • Jewish and Christian teachings which call us to respond to God’s love by loving our neighbors as ourselves;
  • Humanist teachings which counsel us to heed the guidance of reason and the results of science, and warn us against idolatries of the mind and spirit.
  • Spiritual teachings of Earth-centered traditions which celebrate the sacred circle of life and instruct us to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature.
I like the UUCD because I can be “authentic” and don’t have to pretend to agree with a list of understood beliefs in order to feel comfortable......

We look forward to meeting you!
