We Celebrate Diversity

As Unitarian Universalists, we celebrate and embrace diversity of both people and religious perspectives.

We welcome people of all ages, races, national origins, educational levels, social classes, and sexual and gender orientations. We are a community of faith where young and old, partnered and single, gay and straight, skeptic and believer, and people of every race and background come together. We are officially recognized by the Unitarian Universalist Association as a "Welcoming Congregation" because of our acceptance and support of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community (more information on the LGBT Page).

Diversity of belief also is a hallmark of our religious community. In addition to holding different beliefs on spiritual topics, individual UUs may also identify with and draw inspiration from Atheism and Agnosticism, Buddhism, Christianity, Humanism, Judaism, Paganism, and other religious or philosophical traditions.

Our Unitarian Universalist faith has evolved through a long history, with theological origins in European Christian traditions. Today Unitarian Universalism is a non-creedal faith which allows individual Unitarian Universalists the freedom to search for truth on many paths. While our congregations uphold shared principles, individual Unitarian Universalists may discern their own beliefs about spiritual, ethical, and theological issues.
