Social Justice
& Inclusivity
Many see this as our form of evangelism and mission work, guided by reason, compassion, dialogue, and tolerance.
We have taken public stands on human rights issues such as the Flint Water Crisis, immigration, marriage equality, and Black Lives Matter.
Anti-Racism
Ever mindful of racism in America, both past and present, our congregation strives to be the beloved community envisioned by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Our services often feature readings and poetry by people of color, along with sermons highlighting the lives of Black Americans — some famous, others nearly lost to history. Join us to experience a truly hate-free atmosphere, where we celebrate our common humanity and work toward ever-greater unity.

Green Sanctuary
The Unitarian Universalists Association provides the framework for congregations to pursue projects and activities that lead to recognition as a Green Sanctuary. At Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Flint, we use environmentally safe products in our building and on our grounds, volunteer to clear litter from our roadway, continually improve our energy footprint, and encourage members to do the same.
Land Acknowledgement
Our congregation acknowledges that we stand on the traditional lands of the Council of Three Fires and the Anishinaabe peoples, the Indigenous inhabitants of Michigan. We support Indigenous-led organizations and grassroots change movements and encourage others to do the same. We also back campaigns led by Indigenous communities seeking the return of carefully chosen lands.
