Who we are at UUCNH
Early in our UUCNH history a minister of ours summed up who we are with “we agree, not that we must think alike, but that we will endeavor to walk together” in each person’s search for truth and meaning.
- We are grounded in hundreds of years of thoughtful religious communities. Our own church has been here for over 60years
- We are people of many generations, ethnicities, genders and sexualities, and spiritual backgrounds
- We are a people engaged in making the world a better place
- We are a people focusing on what really matters– love, justice, integrity, and hope
UUCNH Mission:
By building a loving religious community that nourishes the spirit, celebrates life, and cherishes the connectedness of all things, we will transform ourselves and our world.
At UUCNH we are always learning
We love that we see the world from different perspectives – What unites us are our core principles that uphold seven real-world values:
Believing in the worthiness of every person
Showing compassion and fairness
Accepting others for who they are
Growing through a personal search for truth
Leading with Democratic spirt
Working for justice

UUCNH is a community
When we gather together each week, we worship, reflect, and remind ourselves what matters most in life.
Whatever our age, we learn to live with more wisdom, more awareness, more gratitude, and more soul.
We show our values by showing up to answer the call for social justice.
We have a track record of standing on the side of love for civil rights, LGBTQ equality, voter redistricting reform, immigration reform, environmental sustainability, reproductive justice, black lives matter, and more.
