Who we are
Covenanting is at the heart of the practice of Unitarian Universalism. Our religious ancestors created our tradition as a faith community bound not by allegiance to a particular creed — that is, specific beliefs — but rather by faithfulness to a covenant — that is, a set of mutual promises to each other and to something greater than ourselves.
Unitarian Universalist congregations covenant to affirm and promote the following seven principles:
The inherent worth and dignity of every person
Justice, equity and compassion in human relations
Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations
A free and responsible search for truth and meaning
The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large
The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all
Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.
Our church is one of many Unitarian Universalist congregations/faith communities that have adopted an 8th Principle:
We, the members of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Tallahassee, covenant to affirm and promote: journeying toward spiritual wholeness by working to build a diverse multicultural Beloved Community by our actions that accountably dismantle racism and other oppressions in ourselves and our institutions.

UU Church of Tallahassee History
Twelve people met in Tallahassee to discuss Unitarianism on November 6, 1953. Three months later, the Unitarian Fellowship of Tallahassee adopted a constitution and applied for a Unitarian charter. By 1955, the Fellowship had eight students in its first Sunday school.
Dr. Paul Finner donated land for a new chapel that was dedicated Christmas Eve, 1957 (originally located on Chapel Drive near Florida State University's campus). In 1960, 67 members voted for the merger of Unitarians and Universalists. Our current home on Meridian Road was built in 1967.
Values forged over the years We welcome a diversity of gender identity, sexuality, race, age, and ability. This congregation has a history of supporting civil rights, racial harmony, and religious freedom. These values have found expression through: opposition to Jim Crow laws and racial segregation in Tallahassee; protesting daily Bible readings in the public school marching for civil rights and urging federal intervention in support of civil rights marches; supporting opponents of the California Loyalty Oath during the McCarthy era.
In succeeding decades, the Unitarian Universalist Church of Tallahassee has furthered our commitment to nurturing our Earth by becoming a certified Green Sanctuary. More recently, we belong to the Capital Area Justice Ministry to promote justice and equality. We are a certified Welcoming Congregation for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, asexual, two-spirit, genderqueer, and non-binary people. We host the Unitarian Universalist Legislative Ministry of Florida each year when they call on legislators to advocate for policies consistent with and supportive of Unitarian Universalist values.
