Unitarian Universalists seek to live our values not only as individuals, but also as communities.
For many years, UU congregations have been guided by the Seven Principles, which affirm ideas such as the inherent worth and dignity of every person, justice and compassion in human relations, and respect for the interdependent web of life.
In 2022, UUCC adopted the 8th Principle, which calls us to journey toward spiritual wholeness by working to build a diverse multicultural Beloved Community and by dismantling racism and other forms of oppression in ourselves and our institutions.
More recently, the Unitarian Universalist Association adopted a framework of Shared Values that include interdependence, pluralism, justice, equity, transformation, and generosity. These values express the spirit of our tradition and help guide how we live together.
At UUCC, these principles and values are not simply statements—they are living guides for our worship, our relationships, and our work in the world.
