What do we believe?
We come from a great variety of rich, religious backgrounds, and have found truth and meaning in many diverse places. Thus, we place great importance on our individual beliefs without insisting that we all necessarily agree. In our diversity, we have much to learn from one another and we need not assume that revelation is sealed. Rather, as we strive to be aware and responsible individuals of faith, religious truth continues to unfold before us and through us.
If you are searching for a spiritual home. . .
- Where all are treated with dignity and respect...
- Where your spiritual search is your own...
- Where your questions are not ridiculed...
- Where your joys and concerns are shared...
- Where your children are taught about all religions...
- Where there is respect for both traditional and non-traditional families...
- Where your uniqueness is honored...
- Where there are opportunities for Social Action...
- Where respect for the interdependent web of all existence presides...
A little bit about Emerson...
At Emerson Unitarian Universalist Chapel, we welcome all who choose to walk with us in the spirit of love and fellowship, and in the search for truth and meaning. As a vibrant and growing church, Emerson Unitarian Universalist Chapel has been providing a spiritual community of tolerance and liberal religion in west St. Louis County since 1984. We celebrate our diversity and rejoice in our similarities. Together we create our traditions and combine the strands of all our lives to form the life and energy of our spiritual home.
