“As Unitarian Universalists,  we believe that the sacred arises from the interdependent web of which we all are a part.  As we build deeper connections and break down the walls between us, a powerful and holy creativity arises that enables us to transform the world and each other.  This is a theology of interconnection and covenant. The Longmont UU Presence is about living our theology. It taps into the transformative power found not only within each congregation (UUCB, BVUUF, and NUUC) but also between our congregations, and it is beautiful to see the three working so well together. Additionally, LUUP is spreading Unitarian Universalism in Boulder County! We have a powerful message to share, and that is getting done by the LUUP.  Thank you for supporting this creative and important endeavor.”

“The heart of Unitarian Universalism lies in covenant. The promises we make to one another are powerful, especially when we live it out in partnership with one another. The Longmont Unitarian Universalist Presence provides an opportunity to serve a community that has a sizable Latinx population and is already an innovative way of building Beloved Community centered on mission. Join our three Boulder County congregations in growing our faith to new levels by amplifying our UU presence in Longmont.”

“In this beautiful partnership, Boulder Valley UU Fellowship and UU Church of Boulder lifted their gaze from their individual congregational health to begin working together to expand Unitarian Universalism in our region.  In these fractured times, we are modeling collaboration as we bring our historic covenantal values of interdependent congregations into the diverse and growing Longmont community. Namaqua UU Congregation to our north is now joining our efforts. Our congregations are proud to extend ourselves for this grander vision of Unitarian Universalism, in what we hope can be a model for future UU collaborative ventures.”

- Rev. Lydia Ferrante-Roseberry |  Senior Minister | Boulder Valley UU Fellowship

"LUUP represents the glory that is Covenanting Communities. Covenanting Communities go where traditional congregations just can’t go by design, and yet by our interconnectedness, they inspire us all to a new margin, a new way of being.  Working with LUUP has fueled my hope as they go so deep with each other the meaning, the blessings and the responsibilities of both membership and of covenant.  What does it mean to make living, dynamic promises to each other, the congregations in our relationship and with the wider community.  They have held their mission nimbly as it is informed and reformed with each new relationship and partner in their wider community. I want that for every single one of our congregations, too! LUUP is showing us how!  It is my delight to sponsor this Faithify initiative!"

- Rev. Tandi Rogers |  Congregational Life Staff  |  Pacific Western Region

"As the Namaqua congregation in Loveland joins in the efforts begun by Boulder Valley UU Fellowship and the UU Church of Boulder, we are grateful for the vision and labors of love that have given birth to this emerging LUUP community. What a wonderful project, bringing together a diverse group of creative, committed, thoughtful, fun-loving UUs to nurture a UU presence in Longmont.  The spark of the chalice flame of LUUP has been lit.  Now let us continue in this bold adventure and see where our synergy can lead us. We are living in a place and a time when it feels urgent to grow into our potential as a liberal faith, working together to bring more love, connection, and justice into our world."
