Vision Statement
FUUSE's vision of itself in five years is a more fully evolved version of the community it already is, and is striving to be:
a SPIRITUAL HOME where individual members of all ages feel that their clarity about life's fundamental issues is enlarged and deepened. The church sustains an environment for spiritual exploration and individual growth, further enriching our experience through music and art. We encourage diverse views in the context of shared values. We support adequate professional staff and lay leadership to provide the intellectual and emotional nurturing required by a spiritual community.
a SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY where all feel welcome and included and where each individual finds ways to know others and be known. People are recognized and respected and encouraged; and they recognize and respect and encourage others of any race, ethnicity, religious experience, economic status, or sexual orientation.
a COMMUNITY THAT LOOKS OUTWARD, where the members' social concerns are not limited to the welfare of others members but include the local community and the global human community. Joint action (besides being effective) builds our mature awareness of the world and our roles as principled citizens. We support and promote informed discussion of social issues within our congregation and our community.
a PHYSICAL SPACE which maintains spaces of comfort and beauty for all of our church activities. The sanctuary is a haven and a place of joy, providing sacred space for worship and reflection. Both indoor and outdoor spaces are comfortable for groups of all ages — for children's energy and laughter, and for older members in search of quiet and conversation
