About Our Church
These are the words to our Statement of Purpose (Mission). It denotes that all meaningful change must have at its foundation, the heart of each human being. There is the dwelling place of God. From there, gratitude, compassion, and love overflow to transform the life of the individual who is yet interconnected with all. And a transformed person can’t help but to transform their environment. Humans are not benign. We either sustain, make worse, or make better.
Who are Unitarian Universalists?
The Unitarians and the Universalists were once two separate progressive (anti-Calvinist) Christian groups from mostly in the Northeast regions of the United States. Over the centuries, they opened their hearts and minds to expand wisdom from many different spiritual perspectives. In 1961, they united to form our present-day Unitarian Universalist Association (of congregations).
Our movement has been vocal and active in social justice causes for centuries. We carry forward this legacy on the international (UUSC.org), national (UUA.Social Justice), and the local levels (UUCE Social Justice).
We are a small organization, bound by covenant, rather than any creed or unified doctrine. Each congregation, fellowship, church or society runs itself. However, we are connected by our care to other UU bodies both near and far.

Land Acknowledgement
Our Land Acknowledgement is an: Act of remembering, Act of repair, Act of Accountability, Act of Acknowledgement and Atonement
Let us take a moment to reflect upon this place where we gather. Let us recall that this is the stolen ancestral land of the Chelamela and Chifin bands of the Kalapuya people whose descendants still live among us.
For time out of mind, indigenous people lived here along the Whilamut River, maintaining the diverse oak savanna ecosystem through careful land management based on their deep understanding and sense of kinship with the world around them. White American settlers and colonizers decimated entire villages with disease, forcibly laid claim to the land, and brutally removed the Kalapuya people along with over 30 other tribes to what are now the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians.
The attempts to destroy Native culture continued through the banishment of languages, broken treaties, and the separation of children from their families sent to boarding schools where children were abused and traumatized.
Today there are several ongoing efforts in our region to revitalize languages, restore land and water rights, cultivate indigenous arts and sciences, and re-establish the sovereignty of Native Tribes.
Let those of us who occupy this land resolve together to dismantle the ongoing legacies of settler colonialism. May we do our part to steward this land, and may we continue to strengthen our relationships with our indigenous neighbors.
