Our Mission
Our Vision
Our Covenant
Our mission is to be a caring community that encourages spiritual growth and actively works to improve our society and the environment.
We envision a welcoming congregation with abundant resources and diverse ministries, nourishing people in body, mind, and spirit within a garden that honors the Earth. We envision our church as a wellspring of spiritual exploration, learning, and action, where all are inspired and empowered to connect with our wider community and to improve our world.
We promise to live in harmony and civility, with awareness, tolerance, acceptance, and celebration of our diversity. We commit ourselves to enthusiastic support of our Fellowship and of the Unitarian Universalist tradition through our individual gifts and talents.
Principles of Unitarian Universalism
As Unitarian Universalists, we base our faith on a set of principles that we agree to affirm and promote:
The inherent worth and dignity of every person
Justice, equity, and compassion in human relations
Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregation
A free and responsible search for truth and meaning
The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large
The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all
Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part
Seek to dismantle racism and other oppressions
Our History
On 17 April 1963, our congregation was formally recognized as “The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Bowling Green” by the Unitarian Universalist Association. We met in various places over the years, and in 1999 we bought our own building and changed our name to Unitarian Universalist Church of Bowling Green.
In 2001, we moved to our present home at 2033 Nashville Road, and we celebrated our 50th Anniversary in 2013.
We are currently a lay-led congregation of 62 members and growing. Our services are different each week so that we may learn from a wide array of traditions and beliefs. Some talks are presented live, others via video. All will give you something to think about.
