Our Mission
We, the Sepulveda Unitarian Universalist Society, are a congregation whose liberal faith is inspired by the Unitarian Universalist Principles we covenant to affirm and promote.
Our ever-evolving spiritual journeys are guided by shared experiences of reverence and awe, by commitment to social justice, diversity, inclusiveness, and the cultural arts, and by an exchange of mutual goodwill with our world and local community.
We are a welcoming place of healing and growth, of love and belonging, and of joyful, spiritual and intellectual inspiration.
Our Vision
As Unitarian Universalists, we invite all people who thirst for authenticity and a connection with the mystery of life to participate in the practice of our shared values.
We join together, with all who are willing, in the search for truth and meaning.
As a beacon of hope and promise, we balance spirituality, community, social and environmental responsibility, technology, and effectively utilized resources.
Who we are and what we do
"The Onion", as we often call ourselves, is democratically governed by its members, who annually elect officers and a policy-making board. Sunday services are a combination of minister led services and frequent lay led services, where the entire congregation joins together to feed our minds, consciences, and spirits by sharing learning, knowledge, wit, and compassion. The children join us at first and then leave to share their own age appropriate classes and activities.
The programs of "the Onion" include forums and guest speakers on topics of current interest as well as Adult Education classes. We host many cultural activities including plays, musical series, coffee houses, and art gallery showings. The building is also available as a rental for special events.
We are an abolitionist congregation
We voted on Nov. 21, 2000 to declare our opposition to the death penalty.
