This Fellowship began as a living-room discussion when a handful of people began seriously to ask the question, "Why don`t we go to church anymore?" The questioning led them to a newly created program of the American Unitarian Association designed to help lay-led groups provide liberal religion for adults and religious education for their children.

Then, and now, we seek to create genuine and enduring religious community without requiring doctrinal conformity. The purpose of our Fellowship, as stated in our bylaws, expresses our perspective: This shall be a fellowship of free minds, having for its object the study and practice of liberal religion, the development of the higher life of its members and the building of a better community and world through religious education, worship, service, work and recreation.

Unitarian Universalism does not require a profession of faith in a set doctrinal beliefs. We are, instead, a diverse community of seekers, believing in the individual search for a meaningful faith. Many of us have come from other churches, leaving when we could not, in conscience, continue to affirm their creeds. Through our participation in Sunday morning worship, in adult study, in the life of the Fellowship, we find insight, understanding and inspiration.

Providing a meaningful religious education experience for children is a particular challenge and a strongly felt responsibility. Recent sunday school topics include: an exploration of the special days of celebration from different faiths; a peace and justice curriculum; and an exploration of the ceative process and the creative forces within and around us.

Social justice issues and social action are a key element of Unitarion Universalism and of this Fellowship. Over the years, our members have worked on human rights legislation, the separation of church and state, reproductive rights and quality public educationl. Our Sunday services frequently reflect our commitment to social Justice.
