Our Doctrine
*Note: Belief in the following tenets is not required
for membership in this church or participation in church ministries and fellowship
Whether He/She is called God, Jehovah, Allah, Goddess, Buddha or any of a myriad of other names, we believe that all people worship the same Creator/Creative Force which brought the Universe into being. The fact that we may disagree about the name or nature of God does not mean that we worship different gods.
We believe that no denomination has a monopoly on truth. Neither is there a single path to God. Each religion contains its own seeds of truth as well as the overarching truths common to all religions. By focusing on our commonalities rather than our differences we can heal the wounds of God's people so that all voices may one day be united in a single song of praise.
We look to Jesus as teacher, Prophet, Master, Avatar (God incarnate)and Savior. We also acknowledge the many other prophets and masters who have been sent to the earth to aid humanity in its journey toward spiritual perfection.
We ask to be extended the same privilege.
We hope that others will extend the same care towards us. Our love for them, however, is not conditional upon these actions, but extend from our recognition of their holiness as reflections of the Creator.
Because God is present in every animal, rock and tree, we honor the earth and strive for its protection.
As a congregation of the Universal Life Church, we believe in doing only that which is RIGHT. Each individual has the responsibility and privilege of determining that which is Right for him/herself -- as long as it does not infringe on the rights of others.
We believe that our bodies are a temple.
In properly caring for our bodies we respect and worship our Creator. Improper diet, ingestion of chemical substances and abuse of our bodies robs us of the opportunity to experience the vibrant health which God intended for each of us. We believe that holistic healing practices and vibrational medicine such as Reiki, herbalism, flower essences and aromatherapy utilize the natural resources with which God has provided us, and allow our Creator to participate in our healing that we may fully enjoy the miraculous gift of life which God has given.
We believe in doing that which is right.
As a congregation of the Universal Life Church, we believe in doing only that which is RIGHT. Each individual has the responsibility and privilege of determining that which is Right for him/herself -- as long as it does not infringe on the rights of others.
