Unitarian Universalism
Unitarian Universalism is a liberal religious movement that emphasizes the inherent worth and dignity of every person. At It Is Well Living Church, we embrace Unitarian Universalism and strive to create an inclusive and compassionate community where all are welcome.
What is Unitarian Universalism?
Unitarian Universalism is a faith tradition that draws inspiration from a variety of religious and philosophical sources. It emphasizes the importance of individual freedom, reason, and social justice. Unitarian Universalists believe in the right of individuals to develop their own beliefs and values, guided by reason and informed by personal experiences.
Principles of Unitarian Universalism
Unitarian Universalism is guided by Seven Principles that highlight our shared values and aspirations:
- We affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person.
- Justice, equity, and compassion in human relations.
- Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations.
- A free and responsible search for truth and meaning.
- The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large.
- The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all.
- Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.
These principles serve as a guiding framework for Unitarian Universalist congregations and members as they navigate their spiritual journeys and engage in social activism.
Inclusive and Progressive
Unitarian Universalism is often described as a "living tradition" because it evolves and adapts to the needs of its members. It is a faith community that embraces diversity and actively works towards dismantling systems of oppression. Our community at It Is Well Living Church upholds these values and strives to create an environment where everyone feels welcome and valued.
As a Unitarian Universalist congregation, we celebrate the unique experiences and perspectives of individuals. We affirm and respect all sexual orientations, gender identities, races, ethnicities, abilities, and backgrounds. It is our belief that through embracing our differences, we can build a more just and compassionate world.
Worship and Community
Worship is an integral part of Unitarian Universalist communities. At It Is Well Living Church, we gather together to explore meaningful topics, share stories, sing, and reflect. Our worship services are designed to inspire and empower, fostering personal growth and a sense of connection.
In addition to worship, our community engages in a variety of activities and programs aimed at nurturing personal and spiritual development, promoting social justice, and fostering a sense of belonging. We offer religious education for all ages, opportunities for community service, and spaces for deeper exploration of various topics of interest.
