Who We Are

The Unitarian Universalist Church of Lexington is dedicated to the principles of free religion in the Bluegrass, a tradition that goes back almost 200 years. UUCL is a member of the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations.  

We are a free, liberal, progressive church open to all persons.  We welcome all without regard to race, creed, age, economic status, physical ability, gender expression, or sexual orientation.  These are some of the categories that have divided rather than united people of faith.  We do not require that you believe the same as us.  Indeed here you will find many different paths. 

Our (Brand New) Vision Statement

(Approved at congregational meeting on Apr. 11, 2010.)

We are building a caring community,
open to all, that treasures free thought,
joyful celebration, lifelong learning,
and generous service.

Our Current Mission Statement

(We are starting the process of revising this based on our new Vision Statement.)

The mission of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Lexington is to give expression to the liberal religious convictions and to serve the religious needs of its members and friends through worship, religious education (or exploration), fellowship, and service. 

These four aspects of church life were adopted in 1989-90 as the “Four Pillars” of our church life, and are represented by four of the banners that grace our Great Hall (sanctuary).

Worship	Religious Exploration	Fellowship	Service
