About UUFSMA

We are a spiritually and culturally diverse congregation of about 200 people of all ages from many countries who endeavor to empower people toward integrity, joy, and community service. We welcome people of all ages, races, religions, sexual orientations, and gender identities.

All we do is centered around Seven Unitarian Universalist Principles, which include:

* Inherent worth and dignity of all
* Justice, equity, and compassion
* Acceptance and encouragement of one another toward spiritual growth
* Free and responsible search for truth and meaning
* Right of conscience and use of democratic process
* World community with peace, liberty, and justice for all
* Respect for the interdependent web of all existence

Our Covenant

"We respect the interdependent web of life and work for a just
​and peaceful world. ​We encourage the search for truth and meaning, strive for compassion in our relationships and seek values that will benefit our lives and the lives of others. This is our covenant."

Nuestro Convenio

"Respetamos todos los estilos de vida dentro de su red interdependiente y trabajamos por un mundo justo y pacífico. Alentamos la búsqueda de la verdad y la comprensión total. Nos esforzamos por mantener compasión en nuestras relaciones y buscamos valores que beneficien nuestras vidas y las vidas de los demás. Este es nuestro convenio."

Unitarian Universalism (UU) draws from many sources:

• Direct experience of that transcending mystery and wonder, affirmed in all cultures, which moves us to a renewal of the spirit and an openness to the forces which create and uphold life;
• Words and deeds of prophetic women and men which challenge us to confront powers and structures of evil with justice, compassion, and the transforming power of love;
• Wisdom from the world’s religions which inspires us in our ethical and spiritual life;
• Jewish and Christian teachings which call us to respond to God’s love by loving our neighbors as ourselves;
• Humanist teachings which counsel us to heed the guidance of reason and the results of science, and warn us against idolatries of the mind and spirit;
• Spiritual teachings of earth-centered traditions which celebrate the sacred circle of life and instruct us to live in harmony with the rhythms.
