Unitarian Universalism (UUism) is a liberal religious movement that is characterized by a search for truth and meaning, and a variety of beliefs and practices.

What does this mean to you? How does this impact your life? Let’s articulate these ideas together.

• Spirituality: UUism is an active search for meaning in life, and a commitment to putting that meaning into practice. UUism encourages people to hold their beliefs in a variety of ways, and to be open to letting go of them as they discover new truths. How does this resonate for you? If it doesn’t, let’s share what does. Opening the book of your spiritual self is a rich and rewarding experience. Come share this important aspect of your being with us in a safe and affirming space.
• Theology: Unitarian Universalists have a variety of beliefs, including:
  • God: Some Unitarian Universalists believe in a God, while others do not. Some believe in a sacred force, such as “love,” “mystery,” or “spirit of life.” Some UUs don’t believe in a deity or gods, but rather, in the unfolding of the universe in a benign way. Still others aren’t sure what they believe or hold sacred. Many of us have started as Christian, Jews, Muslims, Buddhist or other faith systems, only to find that we are an amalgamation of the world’s wisdom.
  • Revelation: Unitarian Universalists believe that revelation is ever unfolding.
  • Jesus: Unitarian Universalists believe that Jesus was a prophet of God, and that other prophets have come from God in other faith traditions.
• Love: Unitarian Universalists believe that love is more important than doctrine.
• Conscience: Unitarian Universalists believe that people should be free to choose their beliefs based on their own conscience.
• Reason: Unitarian Universalists believe that reason and conscience are the final authorities in matters of religious belief.
• Scripture: Unitarian Universalists honor the Bible and other inspiring scripture.
• Community: Unitarian Universalists believe that life is richer in community, and gather together to know and be known, to comfort and be comforted.
• So, come join us for a lively time. Twice a month. An hour and a half of your time, your sense of spirituality, and the theological concepts you are living with today.
