OUR CONGREGATION

The founders of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Fort Wayne  gathered together for the first time over 70 years ago, in 1939. They sought to bring the principles of liberal religion to the city and surrounding communities. In the intervening years, we have grown from the 27 charter members to a membership well beyond that.

We offer a warm, open, and inclusive religious community where people of all ages can meet in their search for answers to the big questions in life. We seek to enrich our lives and our spirits by joining together  for celebration, social action and service, friendship, and support.

We are a religious community which welcomes people of all ethnicities, all colors, affectional orientations, different physical and mental  capabilities, and religious backgrounds who wish to join with us in our  quest for truth and meaning.

OUR MISSION

At the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Fort Wayne, we:

* Offer a liberal, spiritual sanctuary to an accepting, diverse community, sharing common principles

* Encourage personal growth and fellowship

* Promote justice locally and globally

To become a member, one must be sixteen years of age, be in sympathy with  our purposes, and sign the Membership Book.  We also ask that you speak  with the minister or one of the members of the Membership Committee. Because we are self-governing and not subject to any denomination hierarchy, we depend on our members and friends for support. This  requires commitment from each of us: through our finances, time, and talent.  For only in the act of creating and sustaining do we, as individuals and as a congregation, discover who we are and what we can become.
