Declaration of Purpose

We are a welcoming Unitarian Universalist community, honoring diversity of beliefs, practices and lifestyles. This church community is dedicated to celebrating and cultivating community, a sense of inquiry, moral character and insight, religious freedom and helpfulness to humanity - that is, it aims at liberating and cultivating the human spirit. Our congregation is a place where people gather to nurture their spirits and put their faith into action by helping to make our communities, and the world, a better place.

All Souls Community Church is a church dedicated to religion, but not to a creed. It is a liberal religious community of free individuals of all ages walking together in relationship to one another, to our larger community and to the transcending mystery of the universe. Our community is based on open communication, democratic process and a belief in the capacity for goodness in all people. Out spiritual health and our growth as a church community are intimately connected with the spiritual growth and development of our children. We pledge to develop out church community with this always in mind. This church aims at celebrating and cultivating community, a sense of inquiry, moral character and insight, religious freedom, and helpfulness to humanity - that is, it aims at liberating and cultivating the human spirit.
