Humility  --  Mercy  --  Justice

What it means to our congregation to be Unitarian Universalist

​

Here at St. Paul’s, our roots run deep in the Universalist tradition—grounded in a faith in God’s grace and an unqualified love for all people, as revealed in the life and self-giving love of Jesus of Nazareth. Over time, those roots have grown into a living, flowering faith whose spirit is beautifully expressed in the words of the prophet Micah:

“He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.”

​

These values—justice, mercy, and humility—continue to shape the life and mission of our congregation.

​

The Sermon on the Mount also stands at the heart of our spiritual life. Its words guide us toward compassion and peace: “Blessed are the merciful… Blessed are the pure in heart… Blessed are the peacemakers.” In these teachings, we find both inspiration and challenge as we seek to live lives shaped by love, integrity, and care for one another.

​

Like other Unitarian Universalists, we are diverse in belief and spiritual practice, yet united in our desire to bring peace, joy, and love into the world. We do not seek to think alike, but to live faithfully together. Among us are people with deep religious roots, people with none, people who speak easily of God, people who are unsure, and people who are content to let the mystery remain.

​

You are welcome here—your whole self, with your convictions and your questions, your hopes and your worries. Together, we walk this path with humility, mercy, and justice, trusting that each voice and each journey matters.
