For more information on our history, beliefs, principles, and current trends in the faith, visit our non-governing parent organization, the Unitarian Universalist Association. The UUA is comprised of member congregations like our own, and supports us in our work by training ministers, publishing books and the UU World magazine, providing religious exploration curricula, offering shared services, coordinating social justice activities, and more. Each UU congregation is autonomous—congregational leaders set their own priorities and choose their own ministers and staff. Congregations vote for the leaders of the UUA, who oversee the central staff and resources to support the congregations.
