Our Mission

Liberate Truth; Radiate Kindness; Love Courageously

The First Unitarian-Universalist Church of Detroit will be a strong liberal religious presence in Detroit for the well-being of our city and our region;

• Because we have a desire to be a vibrant and vital part of a healthy Detroit;
• Because we strive to be a loving, service oriented religious congregation;
• Because we recognize the need for honesty, accountability, and kindness for our congregation and our region;
• Because we recognize the need for communication with integrity;
• Because we recognize and embrace our congregation’s rich history of diversity;
• Because we recognize that history is rooted in a tradition of open-mindedness and open-heartedness in a search of truth, regardless of the path one follows to seek truth;
• Because this congregation has been built on and will continue to thrive on our connection by covenant rather than creed;
• Because we covenant and confirm the Unitarian Universalist principles and purposes;
• Because we recognize that a strong desire to learn is a pillar on which we will continue to grow and prosper as a congregation;

Therefore, to further these ends we strive to be an expanding transformative community whose mission is to liberate truth, radiate kindness, and love courageously.
