We envision a dynamic multigenerational community that engages the minds, the hearts and the whole selves of our people. Our congregation will be equipped for their life-long journey of learning, integrating their knowledge, feelings, and experiences.

Our people will know:

• Unitarian Universalist faith, history and heritage
• The value of sacred stories and leaders from other faith traditions
• That meaning come from many sources
• Their own self-worth and manifest this in healthy relationships
• Their actions make a difference in our church, community, and world

Our people will feel:

• Committed to Unitarian Universalism
• Called to act out of love, not fear
• Valued and have ownership in their UU community
• Part of something larger than themselves
• Hope, beauty, and inspiration in our worship

Our people will be:

• Able to draw strength and comfort in times of grief from themselves and from others
• Accepting of their own life and its limitations
• Open and willing to engage with others in an ongoing quest for truth and meaning
• Loving, caring, and kind
• Engaged in developing their own ongoing spiritual practice

Our UU Principles for children

Each and every person is important;

All people should be treated fairly and kindly;

We should accept one another and keep on learning together;

Each person must be free to search for what is true and right in life;

All persons should have a vote about the things that concern them;

We will work for a peaceful, fair and free world; and

Care for our planet earth, the home we share with all living things.
