Our Beliefs
Unitarianism provides no creeds, no simple prescriptions about what people should believe and no simple answers. Different Unitarians believe different things, and it requires study, thought, contemplation and perhaps meditation and prayer to begin to see that this does not lead to unstructured and undefined chaos.

What We Believe

We believe in the toleration of religious ideas
We believe in the never ending search for Truth
We believe in the unity of experience
We believe in the worth and dignity of each human being
We believe in the ethical application of religion
We believe in the motive force of love
We believe in the necessity of the democratic process
We believe in the importance of a religious community

Our Covenant

Love is the doctrine of this church.
The quest for truth is its sacrament,
And service is its prayer.
To dwell together in peace,
To seek knowledge in freedom,
To serve humankind in fellowship,
To the end that all souls shall grow in harmony,
Thus do we covenant, with each other and with our God.

How we differ from other churches

We do not emphasize obedience and authority. We believe in freedom and independence.
We do not emphasize self-denial and surrender. We believe in self-fulfillment and affirmation.
We do not emphasize death and salvation. We believe in life and beauty.
We do not emphasize security and prosperity. We believe in risk and excitement.
We do not emphasize serenity and adjustment. We believe in an inner harmony which leads to ethical action.
We do not depend on a single holy scripture. We believe that revelation is continuous and religious truth is found in much of human writing.
We do not worship a divine saviour. We believe in humans.
