Our vision and covenant guide us in our growth as a congregation and our interactions with each other.

Vision

We, the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Columbia, use the transformative power of our faith to be a community where:

We actively search for truth, encourage spiritual growth, and live meaningful lives as Unitarian Universalists.

We seek to learn from the world's many religious traditions and celebrate an array of theological beliefs.

We minister to each other with caring and compassion, building strong congregational bonds in love and friendship.

We offer people of all ages a rich variety of programs that encourage, challenge, and expand our thinking.

We welcome diversity in membership and make special efforts to attract, integrate, and engage newcomers, families, teens, and young adults.

We each commit our talents and resources to the sustenance of the congregation, and acknowledge every individual's contributions.

We are respected as a principled religious community that takes action and effects change which enhances the broader community.

Covenant

Strengthened by our common humanity and inspired by our seven principles, we promise

to be a safe and welcoming community;

to nurture each other's hearts and spirits;

to delight in the beauty of our diversity;

to struggle together on our spiritual journeys;

and to challenge each other to live our values.

Thus, we pledge our time and vigor to the continuing celebration of spirit, of the world, and of humankind.
