Our Mission

The West Valley UU church is a community that respects each individual's path toward spiritual growth. Our church's mission, simply stated, is:

-To build a caring Community supportive of personal dignity and open communication.

-To be a vital force in the wider community by sharing our vision for social justice and intellectual freedom and by service to those in need.

-To encourage each other in our search for truth and meaning.

-To provide a safe, nuturing environment where children,as well as adults,can follow their own religious path.

-To grow in understanding of our universal connection.

Our Beliefs

The West Valley UU church is one of more than 1,000 self-governing congregations belonging to the Unitarian Universalist Association.

Freedom of belief is the characteristic theme of contemporary Unitarian Universalism. We are a non-creedal church. There is no doctrinal test for membership. We have chosen a heritage that places the final authority for religious questions, not with a book, the Bible, nor with an institution, the church, but with reason and individual experience.

A Unitarian Universalist led by his or her reason and conscience to a belief in the unique missions of Jesus may sit beside another member, similarily led, who does not believe in the existence of a personal God.
