Our Focus:  Social Justice - Personal Growth - Community

  • Ethical Core Values
    I accept responsibility for my choices and actions. I strive to live my values. I view ethics as my religion.
  • Ethical Core Values
    I can learn from the past to build for the future. I am free to question. I am free to choose what I believe.
  • Deed Before Creed
    Each of us has a moral responsibility to help reduce suffering, enhance the quality of life and contribute to the well being of society.
  • Examining the issues of living
    Moral education – learning to be a good person – is a lifelong task. We encourage personal growth through sensitivity to others, critical thinking and developing the courage to act on ethical values.
  • Franklin D. Roosevelt, January 6, 1941
    "Freedom of speech. Freedom of worship. Freedom from want. Freedom from fear."
  • Ethical Core Values
    I am a part of this earth; I cherish it and all life upon it. I learn from the world around me by using my senses, mind and feelings.
  • Ethical Core Values
    I can learn from everyone. I am a member of the world community that depends on the cooperation of all people for peace and justice.
  • A Welcoming Humanist Community
    We are a community of caring hearts and thoughtful minds, working to create a better world.
  • Ethical Core Values
    Every person is important and unique. Every person deserves to be treated fairly and kindly.
  • Martin Luther King Jr. 1959
    "Make a career of humanity. Commit yourself to the noble struggle for equal rights. You will make a greater person of yourself, a greater nation o your country, and a finer world to live in."
