   MEMBERSHIP ALWAYS OPEN

Unitarian Universalism is a non-creedal religion.  We will not tell you what to believe.  We will help you explore your own beliefs.

Unitarian Universalist congregations are self-governing.  They select their own minister.  Although UUism is non-creedal, many congregations have signed on to a statement of principles.  Reading these principles will give you an idea of what you might expect in the Unitarian Universalist Church of Greater Lansing.
