We are brave, curious, and compassionate thinkers and doers. We are diverse in faith, ethnicity, history and spirituality, but aligned in our desire to make a difference for the good. We have a track record of standing on the side of love, justice, and peace.

We have radical roots and a history as self-motivated spiritual people: we think for ourselves and recognize that life experience influences our beliefs more than anything.

We need not think alike to love alike. We are people of many beliefs and backgrounds: people with a religious background, people with none, people who believe in a God, people who don’t, and people who let the mystery be.

We are Unitarian Universalist and Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Humanist, Jewish, Muslim, Pagan, atheist and agnostic, believers in God, and more.

On the forefront of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer inclusion for more than 40 years, we are people of all sexual orientations and gender identities.

We welcome you: your whole self, with all your truths and your doubts, your worries and your hopes. Join us on this extraordinary adventure of faith. Get involved!

 

Our Mission

We are a welcoming community of faith, inspiring lives of wonder, generosity, and courage, serving the world through love in action.

 

Our Values

Wonder

Wonder has dual meanings. There is the wonder in thoughtful questioning, curiosity, investigation. And there is the awe and wonder we feel in nature, in relationship with each other, in thinking about the vastness of our universe.

Authentic Connection

Authentic Connection is a way of engaging that takes us deeper than the surface interaction we may have in other communities we are a part of. We seek to be real with one another, to engage with honesty and vulnerability.

Courageous Community

Courageous Community calls us to engage with one another and out in the world with courage. We are courageous in how we are together, and being together gives us courage to do bold work in our world.

Love in Action

Love in Action speaks to both the spirit of love in our congregation and the fact that it is not a passive love. Instead, the love we embody is just that – it is embodied in the way we live with each other and the way we spread that love out into the world.

 

Our Evolving Covenant of Right Relationships

Our church is a unique community where we aspire to personal and spiritual growth, and to learning new ways of being in relation to one another.  Mindful of your inherent worth and dignity, I do covenant to: Bring my best self to this place; listen intently; speak honestly and thoughtfully; trust in your good intentions and recognize that my actions and words have an impact regardless of my intentions; and when I fall out of covenant, I will ask for help and be open to loving guidance to restore my relationship with you.
