We hold women and men in equal dignity,
we value young and old,
and we believe that community can be achieved without conformity of
thought.
Our religious community is based on individual freedom, tolerance, and
a mutual search for truth.
Our Vision Statement
At our annual meeting on May 11, 2008,
we adopted the following Vision Statement:
A look at
our congregation five years into the future ...
We
of the Northshore Unitarian Universalist Church are a warm and
inclusive congregation. All may find a home here in which to grow
spiritually and deepen their faith. The diversity of our membership,
and the music and art enveloping us, stimulate this growth.
We
see the future in our young people and value a thriving religious
education program. We foster an open-minded quest for truth and meaning
at all ages that will nurture personal fulfillment in our challenging
world. We resolve to promote social justice both locally and globally,
and to serve others in need.
With gratitude for our beautiful
surroundings and reverence for all life, we aspire to be environmental
stewards in our own church and in the larger community. For even as we
celebrate the worth and dignity of each individual, we acknowledge the
interdependent web of existence on this planet.

We
welcome you to share your
spiritual journey.
