We come together as a community of
people to deepen our spiritual lives and to live in right relationships
with our fellow human beings and with all creation. We are committed
to moving closer to truth, to reality, to God. We covenant to
unite in the love of truth, and in the spirit of Jesus, for the
worship of God and the service of all.

Our parish's
mission is supported by enduring values which include:
- Our
church has no creeds or doctrines. We seek to preserve the freedom
of each of us to determine for ourselves what we believe and how we
should live. We are open to the wisdom of world religions. We welcome
and honor diversity of belief, culture, lifestyle, and political view
as a source of strength.
- We
are committed to nurturing the spiritual lives of our children. Our
children are rich sources of life and inspiration. In our intergenerational
community we promote the learning and growth of our members of all
ages.
- We
value the Unitarian tradition that we have inherited from those who
came before us in this parish. We seek to preserve and enrich this
tradition for all those who follow us. We acknowledge and honor the
Jewish and Christian traditions as the origins of our Unitarian Universalist
heritage. We value our connections with other communities of faith
in Worcester and around the country.
- We
worship together in the sacred space of our sanctuary through the
spoken word and music. We choose to live in community and discover
the spiritual in the ordinary. We are called to be present to one
another in suffering, to risk being uncomfortable, and to celebrate
the holy in each other and in the world around us.
