Believing
Cascade UU Fellowship
Cascade UU Fellowship was founded in 1985. The Fellowship was created to seek a community based on liberal thought and religious exploration for all ages. It continues to be a place where each person is encouraged to search for their truth and meaning. We do not believe in a unifying dogma or creed. Instead, we build our community through covenant. Our important question is not what do you believe, but rather, how do we be in a community with people of differing beliefs?
The covenant is built on the understanding that we are imperfect and need to work on our relationships with each other actively. This includes communication, forgiveness, and a willingness to be challenged sometimes.
Unitarian Universalism
Cascade UU Fellowship is a member congregation in the Unitarian Universalist Association. Unitarian Universalism emerged in 1961 as the consolidation of two centuries-old religions that originated in Europe. Unitarianism affirms the unity, the oneness, of God, man, and the universe; Universalism says that everyone has access to truth and perfection without needing a personal savior. UU is a liberal religion that does not require adherence to a specific creed but accepts many paths for finding truth and meaning.
