OUR MINISTER

OUR BELIEFS
Diverse Beliefs, One Fellowship
Unitarian Universalist (UU) congregations draw on elements of a variety of religious traditions, as well as humanitarian and environmental values, for our spiritual inspiration and practice. UUs have a diversity of beliefs, and may identify as humanists, atheists, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim, pagan, something else, or nothing at all. As we celebrate diversity, we also have a set of core beliefs that unite us.
