SCUU’s Mission Statement:
Renew the spirit. Connect more deeply. Inspire good.
By welcoming people who identify with Christianity, Judaism, Atheism, Agnosticism, Buddhism, Humanism, Earth-Centered Traditions, Hinduism, Islam, and more, we are embodying a vision beyond belief, a vision of peace, love, and understanding.
Or, are you sure about what you don’t believe? Here’s a place to learn about and reflect on the spiritual questions that matter most to you.
We are united in our values, as expressed in our Seven Principles, our open and stirring worship services, our religious exploration and rites of passage, and our work for social justice.
Unitarian Universalist beliefs are diverse and inclusive. We have no shared creed.
Our shared covenant supports “the free and responsible search for truth and meaning.” As part of this search, we think for ourselves and reflect together about important questions:
This search leads us to study diverse teachings from Eastern and Western religions and philosophies, humanist teachings, earth-centered traditions, and our own experience.
