About First Unitarian Church of South Bend

We are a brave, curious, compassionate group of thinkers and doers. Diverse in faith, ethnicity, and spirituality, but aligned in our desire to make a difference for the greater good, we have a track record of standing on the side of love, justice, and peace since 1865.

Our history is one of radical roots and self-motivated spiritual people: we think for ourselves and recognize that life experience influences our beliefs more than anything else.

Mission Statement

To further the vision of this church, we strive to:

Provide a variety of religious education opportunities for all ages.
Gather regularly for reflection and celebration on Sundays and at other times.
Create and sustain a loving, caring community.
Affirm our Unitarian Universalist heritage and identity.
Provide avenues for working towards the good of the greater community.
Provide the physical, personnel, and fiscal resources to realize our Vision.

Our Covenant

Love is the spirit of this church and service is its law. To dwell together in peace, to seek the truth in love, and to help one another; this is our covenant.

Other Information: About Unitarian Universalism

Unitarian Universalism creates change: in ourselves, and in the world.

Seven days a week, UUs live their faith by doing. Whether in community with others or as an individual, we know that active, tangible expressions of love, justice, and peace are what make a difference.

Unitarian Universalist congregations are committed to seven Principles that include the worth of each person, the need for justice and compassion, and the right to choose one’s own beliefs. Our congregations and faith communities promote these principles through regular worship, learning and personal growth, shared connection and care, social justice and service, celebration of life’s transitions, and much more.

Our faith tradition is diverse and inclusive. We grew from the union of two radical Christian groups: the Universalists, who organized in 1793, and the Unitarians, who organized in 1825. They joined to become the UUA in 1961. Both groups trace their roots in North America to the early Massachusetts settlers and the Framers of the Constitution. Across the globe, our legacy reaches back centuries to liberal religious pioneers in England, Poland, and Transylvania. Today, Unitarian Universalists include people of many beliefs who share UU values of peace, love, and understanding. We are creators of positive change in people and in the world.
