About Us
Mission Statement
The mission of our church is to build a congregational home that supports our
vision, that provides opportunities for spiritual and personal growth in an
interactive and intergenerational community, that is welcoming and inclusive
and that assumes an active responsibility for our community and world.

Vision Statement
As a guide to planning for our future, we affirm our present vision of the
purposes of the Unitarian Universalist Community Church of Santa Monica to be:
- To provide a welcoming center for all people who pursue an ongoing quest
for understanding, personal growth and ethical living, and to provide a religious
center for worship, meditation, celebration and fellowship;
- To create and nurture a community where the search for truth is free and
unhindered; where the dignity, worth and rights of every individual are revered;
where spiritual, emotional and intellectual growth are stimulated and encouraged;
where the process is open and democratic; where our interdependence with all
life on earth is recognized and honored; and where the transforming power
of love is acknowledged;
- To provide for the religious growth and development of children and youth,
to guide and support them in their search for understanding, insight and inspiration
and to welcome them into the life of the church;
- To participate in a broader fellowship concerned with social justice, peace
and a responsible relationship with the environment, so that we may create
a better world for all life today and all life tomorrow.
