Where to Find Us
Our Vision
We are a spiritual home for individuals and families, for people of faith and seekers of meaning. We are a welcoming, open community, active in social and environmental justice. We affirm the worth of all people and the interdependent web of all existence.
Our Mission
Our mission is to be a welcoming and beloved community that inspires spiritual growth and social action.
Our Members and Friends
We are a diverse, welcoming congregation. We are young and old. We are heterosexual, gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered. We are city dwellers and suburbanites. We are affluent and just getting by. We are single and living in many different types of families. We are a congregation of few colors that would like to be a congregation of many colors. We come together from many religious backgrounds. While we are located in Northboro, we are less than 20 minutes from downtown Worcester, and people attend from throughout Central Massachusetts. Our location is particularly convenient for residents of Boyleston, Shrewsbury, and Southborough.
A Welcoming Congregation affirms the presence and participation of Gay, Bisexual, Lesbian, and/or Transgendered people. To be a Welcoming Congregation, we had a series of workshops sponsored a diversity dance, a gay/straight discussion group, sponsored movies, and led a number of worship services. The UUA recognized us in June of 2001 as a Welcoming Congregation.
Green Sanctuary
Green Sanctuary is the name of a formalized process developed by the organization, Ministry for the Earth (formerly Seventh Principle Project), to assist UU congregations in living in greater harmony with our planetary home while also helping solve the numerous environmental crises that threaten our quality of life and the lives of future generations. At our 2004 Annual Meeting, we voted as a congregation to work to become an accredited Green Sanctuary.
