We, the Unitarian Universalist congregation of Tullahoma, warmly welcome you and hope
your visit with us is both pleasant and stimulating. No matter your belief system, there is a
spiritual home for you here. What exactly do we believe? Basically, we believe that there is
wisdom and value in all religions, but that no one religion has all the answers. For many of
us, religion is an ongoing search for meaning, purpose, and value, both personal and
societal. We have no creed but instead seven guiding principles:
1. The inherent worth and dignity of every person
2. Justice, equity, and compassion in human relations
3. Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations
4. A free and responsible search for truth and meaning
5. The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large
6. The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all
7. Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part
You may read more about our history by visiting the Unitarian Universalist Association Website.
Unitarian Universalists have for much of their long history been a haven for many people who wish to practice their faiths in
a safe and nonjudgmental atmosphere. Faiths represented by our members include, but are not limited to, Buddhism,
Hinduism, Paganism, Human Secularism, practitioners of Shinto and of course Christianity. You will find no repressive
religious climate nor discrimination here.
Since we are a small congregation and have no full time minister, we most often draw on the knowledge, experience and interests
of our members to provide our programs on Sunday. Sometimes there are professional guest speakers or we employ a divinity
student as an interim minister. Other times, we call on people in the surrounding community to give us their thoughts. We find this
provides an amazing variety of program topics and viewpoints. The freshness and spontaneity found in our church is difficult to find
elsewhere. We break for coffee and goodies after the program, and then reconvene for a discussion of the morning’s topic (the
talk-back).
Children are very welcome; we have volunteers to provide for their care and a room full of games and toys for their enjoyment. Dress
is informal.
So we hope you have an enjoyable experience with us. And if you have been denied or are hungry for a good church experience,
perhaps you will find it here with us.
