What We Believe

Chalice with many faith symbols

Unitarian Universalism is a religion that encourages every member to pursue a personal religious and spiritual journey, believing that each of us is responsible for our individual destiny. As Unitarian Universalists, we help each other on our religious journey.

Unitarian Universalists seek truth and moral teaching from multiple sources and all of the world’s religions. Individual freedom of belief is one of our principles, and people of all beliefs are welcome. Another of our principles is affirming the worth and dignity of every individual, and people of all sexual orientations are welcome. Mutual respect, acceptance of one another and diverse lifestyles, acceptance of differences of opinion, and a common search for truth bind us as a fellowship.

As one Unitarian minister put it: "It is not the role of religion to bring comfort and ‘peace of mind’ to the individual, to the neglect of social responsibility and ethical sensitivity to the sorrow and sufferings of others. Our faith should fortify us against disaster and the fear of misfortune. But it should also challenge us to minister to the needs of others. In our world made one neighborhood by human ingenuity, there can be no boundaries to our sympathies nor any place for indifference."
