Together, we find meaning, celebrate life, and serve the spirit of love and justice in our world

We nourish lives through relevant worship, musical experiences, the arts, and opportunities for spiritual growth.

• Our diverse, all-ages community welcomes new people in, connects through authentic and meaningful relationships, and is dedicated to mutual service.

• Our social justice and environmental values are active within our fellowship and recognizable in the wider community through our work with local organizations, interfaith partnerships, and public witness

Our Relational Covenant is the commitment we make to one another. It expresses our promise for how we want to be in relationship with each other, so we can nurture and sustain loving community within our congregation and in the larger world. These promises are the very heart of our faith tradition, right along with the Seven Principles of Unitarian Universalism. The spiritual energy of this faith community is fueled by the way we approach, connect with, respect and treat each other. It is about loving relationships that strive to honor the integrity of each person.

The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Central Oregon (UUFCO) was established in 1958. UUFCO was a lay-led congregation for its first 45 years. Since 2004 when we hired our first minister, we have experienced steady growth from a small congregation without a building to congregation of over 300 members with many programs and a new church home, completed in 2015. We welcomed our settled minister, Rev. Scott Rudolph, in August 2017.

Learn more about our history.

Unitarian Universalist (UU) congregations draw on elements of a variety of religious traditions, as well as humanitarian and environmental causes, for our spiritual inspiration and practice. As such, UUs have a diversity of beliefs, and may identify as humanists, atheists, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, pagan, something else, or nothing at all.

As we celebrate this diversity, we also have a set of core beliefs that unite us. The Seven Principles of Unitarian Universalism were written, revised, and approved by members of UU congregations across North America, and undergo periodic review and updating.

The Seven Principles of Unitarian Universalism

We, the member congregations of the Unitarian Universalist Association, covenant to affirm and promote:

1. The inherent worth and dignity of every person

2. Justice, equity, and compassion in human relations

3. Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations

4. A free and responsible search for truth and meaning

5. The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large

6. The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all

7. Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part

The Chalice

The flaming chalice is the official symbol of the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee and the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). Officially or unofficially, it functions as a logo for hundreds of congregations. It was created during WWII, first for use by the Unitarian Service Committee (USC) to help identify official papers as it served in relief efforts throughout the war. It was later adopted by the UUA as an official symbol. Read more about the history of its creation on the UUA website.
