Live Oak Unitarian Universalist Congregation is a liberal religious community welcoming all. Our generations join together to nurture spiritual growth and personal transformation, that we may be inspired to transform the world with love, hope, compassion and justice.
What do Unitarian Universalists believe?
Unitarian Universalism is a non-creedal religion. We are not bound by a statement of belief, but we are guided by the Seven Principles of the Unitarian Universalist Association:
* 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 worship services are held at 10:00 a.m. every Sunday, with Religious Education classes and childcare offered during the service.
We are a Welcoming Congregation! This Unitarian Universalist community welcomes and celebrates the presence and participation of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people.

Live Oak Resolution Against Proposition 8:
Whereas Unitarian Universalists affirm the inherent worth and dignity of
every person, and justice, equity and compassion in human relations;
Whereas the State of California's Supreme Court ruled in the
summer of 2008 that marriage is a constitutional right for all;
Whereas Proposition 8 on the November 2008 California ballot, also known
as the Limit on Marriage Constitutional Amendment, would take away the right to
marriage for same-sex couples;
Whereas Live Oak Unitarian Universalist Congregation is a Welcoming
Congregation, whose goal is to reduce prejudice by
increasing understanding and acceptance among people of different sexual
orientations;
Whereas we feel that legislating prejudice against any
person diminishes the fundamental freedoms we all believe in and count on;
Be it resolved, the Board of Trustees of Live Oak UUC joins
other congregations and the Pacific Southwest District of the Unitarian
Universalist Association in opposing California’s Proposition 8.
