Who We AreThe Twin-Cities chapter of the Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans is a growing community of Pagan Unitarian Universalists, Pagans exploring Unitarian Universalism, and Unitarian Universalists who are exploring Paganism. Most of our events are open to the public. We welcome people of all races, ethnicities, and Pagan traditions and do our best to accommodate disabilities. Our different histories mean that we have insights and skills to share which can empower us as we seek to achieve our shared purposes. We are elders, infants, singles, parents, toddlers, teens, and in between. We are strait, gay, lesbian, bisexual, married, single, celibate, and in-between. We come together because of our reverence for Nature and our instinct for celebration, and our longing for a community which shares these things. We recognize kindred hearts and shared purposes. We take our religion seriously and we seek to apply it to every aspect of our lives, and especially to how we practice our religion together. In keeping with Unitarian Universalist practice, CUUPS-Twin Cities is governed by its membership under the covenant of our By-laws. |
Our mission statement, created by consensus in 2008, describes how we see ourselves as a chapter and how we want to develop and serve.
If our mission and your True Will/path fit well, we invite you to consider membership. |

Over twenty years ago at a UU General Assembly in Atlanta Georgia, a few UU Pagans founded CUUPS for mutual support and exploration of a way to be both truly Unitarian Universalist and truly Pagan. Today, the Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans is emerging as a unique "tradition," distinguished from many Pagan groups by our emphasis on participatory public worship, congregational polity, social justice activism, the free and responsible search for truth and meaning unbound by creed, and relationships with one or more UU congregations. There are over 75 chapters of CUUPS in the U.S.
