Our Mission, Vision, and Goals
With love at the center, the mission of this church is to…
INSPIRE individual and communal spiritual growth
CONNECT through worship, music, learning, and caring ministries
ACT in the service of promoting UU principles in ourselves and the wider world
Chalice is a vibrant center of liberal religious values, a beacon to the communities we serve, with innovative ministries and flourishing activities.
Congregational Goals for 2022-2023
To more fully live our UU values in our journey toward wholeness, we commit to explore ways within our congregation to become a greater source of nourishment for Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC). At a minimum we want our white congregants not to marginalize our BIPOC congregants. More purposeful work may focus on encouraging internal congregation dialogue and self reflection on issues such as structural racism, white supremacy practices and anti-oppression work.
​As we transition back to face-to-face gatherings, our goal is to continue to provide online accessibility of our worship, meetings, events and activities while also embracing the power and comfort of being physically present in community.
