Most churches find their bond of union in scriptural or creedal affirmations. All who wish to be members are expected to profess exactly the same theological beliefs, and undergo the same rituals.

The Unitarian bond of union is different. Unitarians believe that people can covenant to work together for the deepening of spiritual life, the strengthening of moral character, and the improvement of society without conforming to a set pattern of theological dogmas. Unitarians hold that differing theological views are natural and healthy and that attempts to enforce conformity are deadening and potentially destructive. History is witness to the horrors of religious intolerance.

Unitarians wish their church to help them face together life's spiritual challenges. The church helps people to come to their own individual conclusions and forge their own personal faith.
