We believe that diversity of religious expression enriches us all. Here you will find a variety of traditions and expressions, including: liberal Christians, Jews, humanists, atheists, agnostics, pagans, Buddhists and others discussing our beliefs and learning from each other.

We do not have one set of beliefs that everyone must share in order to join. We are not guided by a creed or dogma, but by a quest for truth and meaning. We are a caring, open minded religion that encourages you to seek your own spiritual path, wherever it may lead.

We are a welcoming congregation; we promote equal opportunities for all people and advocate the rights and acceptance of each individual.

We nurture community by offering programs, activities and worship services that enhance the values we hold in common, and honor the differences among us. We accept, encourage and challenge one another on our spiritual and personal journeys.

A Welcoming Congregation...

As a Welcoming Congregation, we actively welcome gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people as full participants in the life of the church. We are committed to standing on the side of love in our congregational life and our advocacy in the larger community.

  Ann Snively
  Why are some people more resilient than others when faced with devastating, or even just ordinary difficult situations?

• March 9 - Celebrating Mutual Ministry in Service to Mission
  Rev. Mary Moore
  On this celebration morning, we will be honoring Rev. Chuck Thomas who was minister of the UU congregation in Dayton which merged with MVUUF 15 years ago -- as he moves away to California.
  
  We'll also thank retiring members of the Board and Program Council and formally install new members.
  
  There will be special music by a quartet from Yellow Springs, a covenant with our Visiting Stewards, and a brief exploration of what stewardship in service to mission might look like.
  
  A Reception to honor Rev. Chuck Thomas' ministry in Dayton will take place in the Gathering Space following the service -- an opportunity to thank him and wish him farewell.
