Adirondack Unitarian Universalist Community

Statement of Purpose

Our mission is to embrace and act upon the princples of Unitarian Universalism, especially in the following ways:

To gather with others in an intergenerational spiritual community that nurtures love, harmony, acceptance, and freedom of belief.
To encourage spiritual growth by supporting and affirming individual exploration in the search for truth.
To teach children in a loving, welcoming atmosphere where they will learn to open their hearts and minds to the many ways of seeing the world, providing them with a foundation for embarking on their own spriritual journey as they grow.
To acknowledge and respect the principle that all beings are interconnected.
To actively work toward social justice and improvement of the lives of those within our community as well as in the larger world.

We, the member congregations of the Unitarian Universalist Association, covenant to 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.
