Our Core Values:

J Joyful
A Accepting
C Compassionate
K Knowledge seeking

In five years, we would like to see an increase in membership to at least 60 members of our church who are excited about the church and are able and willing to be active in supporting the life of the church and who pledge whatever they can to financially support the church. 

We would like to see the development of a meaningful religious education program for adults as well as for youth, including a study of Unitarian Universalism to deepen the understanding of our faith.

We would like to have accomplished the relocation of our church to a new church building or storefront on one level with plenty of parking and greater visibility.

Our Mission:

• The Unitarian Universalist Church of Hot Springs exists
• To explore something bigger than ourselves
• To build on our relationships with each other and increase our influence and service in our community and in the world.
• To experience a liberal faith in a loving, safe environment
• To live mindful of our seven principles.

Principles of Unitarian Universalism:

Unitarian Universalism affirms and promotes seven Principles, grounded in the humanistic teachings of the world’s religions:

1. 1st Principle: The inherent worth and dignity of every person;
2. 2nd Principle: Justice, equity, and compassion in human relations;
3. 3rd Principle: Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations;
4. 4th Principle: A free and responsible search for truth and meaning;
5. 5th Principle: The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large;
6. 6th Principle: The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all;
7. 7th Principle: Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.

Sources of Unitarian Universalism:

• Direct experience of that transcending mystery and wonder, affirmed in all cultures, which moves us to a renewal of the spirit and an openness to the forces which create and uphold life;
• Words and deeds of prophetic women and men which challenge us to confront powers and structures of evil with justice, compassion, and the transforming power of love;
• Wisdom from the world’s religions which inspires us in our ethical and spiritual life;
• Jewish and Christian teachings which call us to respond to God’s love by loving our neighbors as ourselves;
• Humanist teachings which counsel us to heed the guidance of reason and the results of science, and warn us against idolatries of the mind and spirit;
• Spiritual teachings of earth-centered traditions which celebrate the sacred circle of life and instruct us to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature.
