As a congregational humanist community, First Unitarian Society of Minneapolis foster a free search for knowledge and meaning, strive for justice, and serve one another, the Twin Cities, and beyond.
1. We aspire to live joyfully and ethically, in loving, reverent relationship with humanity and nature.
2. We aspire to make the change we need for a more just, compassionate, and peaceful world.
3. We aspire to pursue wisdom through reason, science, art, and the stories of civilizations.
4. We aspire to support one another’s journey toward meaning and connection in the here and now.
Love is the spirit of this place, And service its law; This is our covenant, To dwell together in peace, To seek the truth in love, And to help one another.
The following Principles of Right Relations provide guidelines to help each of us live up to our covenant in our interactions with one another. The basic principles are:
We value trust, respect and acceptance of diversity in our relationships with each other.
We hold honest and respectful communication as the basis of healthy relationships in community
We acknowledge that change and conflict are normal parts of life in community
We are generous with our gifts in support of our mission
Principals Approved by the FUS Congregation at the Annual Meeting on May 19, 2019.
Our humanist values call us to care for our fellow human beings, and FUS members serve and support each other in many ways.
During our Sunday assemblies, we take a quiet moment to acknowledge the rites of passage, major challenges, and life milestones of the Society’s members. If you have a joy or concern that you are to share, please fill out this form OR send an email to joysandconcerns[at]firstunitarian.org.
Volunteers on the Caring Team help support FUS members facing personal issues such as health concerns, grief, or practical needs.
FUS hosts a number of support-oriented groups, including Dementia Caregivers and a Grief Support Group (held virtually). The congregant-led Mental Health Awareness Team educates on matters of mental health and hosts events. Our sibling organization HumanistsMN also meets here weekly to host SMART, a secular addiction recovery program.
