- Generosity is practiced and deeply rooted
- Racial and cultural equity grows
- A strong sense of denominational identity exists
- Congregations within the District live in covenant with each other and with the District when:
- Congregations within the District are connected in formal networks and clusters that create opportunities for collaboration and mentoring.
- Congregations participate in the life of the District.
- Congregations, in partnership with the UUA, move towards sustainability, wholeness, and reconciliation in the world through:
- Engagement in their communities, informed by our prophetic voice and public witness
- Growing awareness of Unitarian Universalism in the larger community
- Interfaith partnerships and alliances based on shared values that promote justice
