Our Values

At First UU, we celebrate our liberal religious tradition and our rich diversity, inspire authentic relationships and spiritual growth, and we work for a more just, loving, and compassionate society. Our work is to practice responsible social action, promote liberal religious education, and encourage spiritual and intellectual growth. The core beliefs in the Unitarian Universalist tradition support and inspire us on this journey.

Unitarian Universalists do not abide by a creed. Instead, our congregation embraces individuals from a wide range of spiritual beliefs and practices, united in acceptance and support for each other as everyone seeks their personal spiritual meanings. Part of what unites us in our faith is our shared commitment to affirm the Seven UU Principles and to draw spiritual practices from many religious traditions, known as our Six Sources. Our beliefs play a role in our Sunday services, but they also shape the way we live our lives, both within our church and in the greater community. We are dedicated to the causes of hope, love, and justice.

One thing is certain…whoever you are, wherever you are on your faith journey, you will be welcome at First UU.

8th Principle & Article II Revisions

There are currently 7 Principles codified in the UUA bylaws.  The 8th Principle began as a grassroots effort that  specifically calls on us to change the organizational structures and systems that perpetuate the existence of racism and other oppressions in ourselves, our society, and our institutions today.

 It has been adopted by 234 individual congregations (21 in the Southern Region) while awaiting consideration by the UUA.  Our congregation will be voting on adopting the 8th Principle into our own congregation at our May 2023 Congregational meeting.
