As the Unitarian Universalist presence in Ithaca, we envision ourselves as a vibrant, dynamic community. We cherish fellow seekers, nurture open dialogue and spiritual growth, and inspire action on matters of conscience, serving as a beacon of reason and hope in our interconnected world.

2024 – 2025 Vision of Ministry

    Grow a culture where we are lifting up our UU Principles and Values by:

    • Supporting each person so that they contribute what they can in time and energy to congregational endeavors while creating a culture where people can give and receive.
    • Seeking to care for and connect with each other through living into our covenant.
    • Creating multiple avenues for social justice that nourish connection and community outreach. 
    • Cultivating opportunities for spiritual enrichment and growth
    • Embracing religious pluralism.
