About Mosaic UU

Unitarian Universalism
With a Christian heritage dating back to the 15th century, our religion is at once very old and new.  Some Jews, Hindus, Moslems, Pagans, Wiccans, Agnostics, and even Atheists are Unitarian Universalists.  So were five U.S. Presidents.  Read more.

Mosaic UU
Mosaic is a covenantal congregation growing from a desire for an inclusive, diverse and spiritually-based community, actively partnering with other groups who share our values and vision to work for justice and equity in our community and the world.

The work of developing the values, mission and vision of Mosaic was started in 2004 with a group of 10 people entering into The Chrysalis Way, a program developed and led by Rev. Susan M. Smith, an ordained UU minister, and Connie Goodbread, a consultant for Healthy Congregations and a certified UU Director of Religious Education, to build healthy, viable UU congregations. Mosaic leaders worked for 18 months alongside two other emerging Central Florida congregations, one in Gainesville and one in Palatka. They met monthly with the “coaches” for day-long workshops to foster the skills and develop the culture to support healthy congregations.

More than 65% of the members of the Mosaic congregation come from religious traditions other than Unitarian Universalism. They have found a religious community that honors their beliefs and supports them on their spiritual path.

Mosaic UU Covenant
A covenant is a mutual promise of respect and support. Mosaic UU has adopted a covenant to guide our relations with each other.

Compassion moves us to transform our shared world through service, individual spirituality and respectful relations with all.
