- We are a congregation dedicated to the UU principle, which affirms the inherent worth, and dignity of every person.
- We are a congregation that believes in the goal of a world community with peace, liberty and justice for all.
- We commit ourselves not only to celebrating our religious values, but to putting them into practice as well.
One of the ways members of UUCDC do this is through our Social Justice & Community Outreach programming. There are numerous ways for individuals who want to work for social justice to get involved. We encourage you to explore opportunities with us and consider how you might work to make a difference in the world in which we live.
Participation in these activities is not limited to church members. All are welcome.
