What Do UU’s Believe
In Unitarian Universalism, you can bring your whole self: your full identity, your questioning mind, your expansive heart.
Together, we create a force more powerful than one person or one belief system. As Unitarian Universalists, we do not have to check our personal background and beliefs at the door: we join together on a journey that honors everywhere we’ve been before.
Ours is a non-creedal denomination. As Unitarian Universalist, we covenant, congregation-to-congregation and through our Association, to support and assist one another in our ministries.
We draw from our heritages of freedom, reason, hope, and courage, building on the foundation of love. Love is the power that holds us together and is at the center of our shared values, inseparable from one another.
We are accountable to one another for doing the work of living our shared valued through the spiritual discipline of Love.
Unitarian Universalists believe more than one thing. We think for ourselves, and reflect together, about important questions:
- The existence of a Higher Power
- Life and Death
- Sacred Texts
- Prayer and Spiritual Practices
We are united in our broad and inclusive outlook, and in our values, as expressed in our Shared Values. We are united in shared experience: our open and stirring worship services, religious education, and rites of passage; our work for social justice; our quest to include the marginalized; our expressions of love.
