Our Beliefs

Chalice is a Unitarian-Universalist (UU) Congregation, and a member of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UAA).

Principles

A hallmark of UU congregations is the mutual agreement among members to conduct their lives by certain principles that transcend all creeds. These are are our seven principles (Principios en Español).

Chalice Covenant

Our congregations are covenantal groups, where we agree to a covenant which describes how we will relate to one another. The Chalice covenant is:

Mindful of our diversity and our need for greater understanding, we promise to open our hearts and minds to foster a safe, inviting and loving community. We will treat one another genuinely and respectfully as together we share life's journey toward wholeness.

Our Purpose

The By-laws of our congregation state:

This congregation unites to foster spiritual and personal growth and to promote principles of community, dignity, and the right of individual conviction and truth regardless of source. We work for social justice in our locale and in the larger world and in so doing create a better life in the here and now. We dedicate ourselves to the democratic process in human relationships and endeavor to respect the interdependent web of existence of which we are a part.

Chalice Mission Statement

Our mission at Chalice is:

Open hearts, Open minds, Open doors,
Nurturing spirits;
Seeking justice within the wider world

Welcoming Congregation

We are pleased to be designated a Welcoming Congregation by the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations, and as such we honor and value the racial, cultural, economic, religious, physical ability, sexual orientation and gender diversity of our members and visitors, young and old.

Self-Governance

UU congregations are self-governing, with each congregation determining if they want a minister, whom to call as a minister, what their by-laws will be, how they will conduct worship, and how congregants will relate to one another.
