By providing a safe environment to foster spiritual growth-- which includes having good role models and time to focus, center, and be mindful-- for any age person to learn, explore, share, and ask questions-- we hold the space for persons to:
- Learn about Unitarian Universalism as a religion and what it can mean to be a Unitarian Universalist.
- Be part of a faith community and learn to build community with shared values
- Discover spiritual tools to be used in living life fully. (The UU Principles and Sources are a resource for many of these tools.)
- Explore some of the “big questions” of life such as “What is my purpose?” “Where do we come from?” “Where are we going?” and other religious and spiritual questions.
- Learn how to be active, responsible, caring, respectful citizens of the world—our interdependent web of existence.
- Be part of receiving and passing on our Unitarian Universalist history, knowing that ours is a “living tradition.”
