History and Governance

Our congregation was founded in 1947. We were the first Unitarian congregation in North Carolina. Our community now includes about 520 adult members and 100 children and youth. We hold widely varying religious views and follow many different spiritual paths, while cohering around a set of shared values.

A few of our members came to us from other Unitarian Universalist congregations throughout the country, but most new members come from outside of this liberating religion. They may have identified with other faith traditions, or they may never have belonged to a spiritual community.

The Unitarian Universalist Community of Charlotte is guided by a Board of Trustees and led by a professional staff. Our Coordinating Team manages day-to-day operations. But our primary resources are the hundreds of members whose generous offerings of time, talent, insight and financial resources help support and sustain us.

We’re a self-governing congregation, free and responsible to determine the mission, structure and programming that best meet our own spiritual needs and most effectively offer a beacon of progressive thought and action in our larger community.

The Unitarian Universalist Community of Charlotte is a Welcoming Congregation.  We earned our Green Sanctuary Certification in June of 2019.

Unitarian Universalism Shared Valuesalt=

Love is the power that holds us together and is at the center of our shared values. The values we share include all the following, which we hold as inseparable and deeply interconnected:

  • Interdependence: We honor the interdependent web of all existence and acknowledge our place in it.
  • Pluralism: We are all sacred beings, diverse in culture, experience, and theology.
  • Justice: We work to be diverse multicultural Beloved Communities where all feel welcome and can thrive.
  • Transformation: We adapt to the changing world.
  • Generosity: We cultivate a spirit of gratitude and hope.
  • Equity: We declare that every person is inherently worthy and has the right to flourish with dignity, love, and compassion.
