What We Believe
Our faith is centered on values that shape how we live and how we relate to the world around us:
- Love is at the heart of everything
Then, rotating clockwise from top (in the image):
- Interdependence reminds us that we belong to one another
- Equity honors the dignity of every person
- Transformation invites us to grow, together
- Pluralism celebrates diverse beliefs and identities
- Generosity opens us to gratitude and possibility
- Justice moves us to act with courage and compassion
What to Expect on Sundays
Worship at Cedar Lane is rooted in real life. Each week, we explore themes like grief and joy, hope and healing, justice and belonging. Services include music, storytelling, reflection, silence, and shared community.
Children and youth join programs grounded in our Unitarian Universalist values—learning to think deeply, act kindly, and grow into their own sense of purpose and identity.
Will Someone Try to “Convert” Me?
Not here. Many in our community arrived after stepping away from other religious traditions—or after years of feeling disconnected from any spiritual home. There’s no pressure. You’re welcome to explore at your own pace. We’re here to walk with you, not win you over.
Why Do You Call It a “Congregation”?
Because “church” doesn’t fully reflect who we are. Cedar Lane includes people from Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Pagan, atheist, humanist, and interfaith backgrounds—and more. “Congregation” speaks to our shared life and commitment, not a single theology.
More Than Sundays
Cedar Lane is deeply engaged in the world. We support immigrant families, stand up for racial and gender justice, protect the Earth, and partner with local organizations like Action in Montgomery (AIM) and Congregation Action Network (CAN).
We also make space for connection and growth through small groups, retreats, learning circles, music, and the arts.
