What's UU?
Unitarian Universalism welcomes people of all beliefs to seek truth and meaning together in a community grounded in love and justice.
Our History
Unitarian Universalism is a Protestant denomination that grew out of Unitarianism, founded in Hungarian Transylvania by liberal reformers in the 16th century, and Universalism, developed in the young United States to reflect the core belief that all people are worthy of salvation.
Both faith traditions rejected the Trinity at the core of Christianity, and they merged in 1961 as the Unitarian Universalist Association, headquartered in Boston, MA.
UU congregations welcome people of all backgrounds, religious traditions, and personal beliefs, who seek truth and meaning together in a democratic community grounded in love and justice.
The UUSV is a Welcoming Congregation, a designation that certifies that we formally and enthusiastically welcome LGBTQI+ families and individuals.
Our Eight Principles
A Message from Our Minister
I want to stress as the minister of this congregation, as well as being just an ordinary human being, that what holds us together in covenant with one another is the embodiment of our Eight Principles. Through all of our theological diversity and philosophies, it is crucial to remember that we are called to not only affirm but to live out these principles (to at least try to) in our everyday experience as human beings on planet earth—thereby creating the world we say we want to live in.
In this way, the world we dream about can be the world attained. If any of what you see and read (I encourage you to do your own research as well) resonates with you on some level, please feel free to attend one of our services on Sunday.
I am in the pulpit on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Sundays.
All are welcome!
— Rev. Michael J. S. Carter
