Proposed New BUF Mission Statement

Looking at BUF’s growth, increasing activities, and direction, the board has developed a proposed new mission statement that we believe addresses our current mission, while providing for growth in the coming years. Along with learning about the new roof, come see, hear, and ask questions about the proposed statement at the listening session, this Sunday, May 10, at noon. The new mission statement will be voted on at the May 31 annual meeting, so this is a chance to find out how the board developed the proposed mission statement and why we believe it will serve BUF well. Please join us!

The Current BUF Mission Statement:

We, the Members of the Bellingham Unitarian Fellowship, are a liberal religious community which values the diversity of individuals and affirms Unitarian Universalist principles. Our congregation welcomes persons of every age, physical ability, race, ethnicity, national origin, citizenship, religion, gender identity, sexual and affectional orientation. As a community, we aspire to provide a creative, and nurturing environment where social, spiritual, and personal development are encouraged and acknowledged. Therefore, we celebrate in ritual, music, art, literature and humor. We endeavor to teach, to learn, and to serve both our community and the world.
