As Unitarian Universalists, we are generally guided by compassion, curiosity, and conscience. Our faith is values-based, so just about everything that we do has something to do with Justice, Equity, Transformation, Pluralism, Interdependence and/or Generosity. If you share our progressive values, you could be a UU too! Come see us on Sundays to find out. We can't wait to meet you!​​

About Our Congregation

Since 1954, our congregation (member congregation of the Unitarian Universalist Association) has served those in pursuit of a community of love, strength, and support. We seek to be an inclusive space, where the diverse perspectives, cultures, backgrounds, and needs of all are respected and valued. We welcome all ages, all abilities, all identities. 

Every Sunday we pass a collection plate during service for donations. 25% of all undesignated donations are given to one of our Share the Plate Partners on a rotating schedule. You can also give by visiting our donation website.

We are proud to be a UUA-accredited Green Sanctuary. Only about 30% of congregations have attained this accreditation which honors a commitment to the environment. We just completed a capital campaign for solar panels, which moves us closer to being a community resilience hub. 

And we are proud to be a Welcoming Congregation which is affirming of LGBTQIA+ people (as nearly all UU Congregations are).  We honor pronouns at UUFC, and we encourage you to come as your authentic self.  All of who you are is sacred. 

Our Minister, Rev. Holly Brown (They/Them)

We called Rev. Holly to be our settled minister in 2023, and we are so lucky to have them at UUFC! Rev. Holly is a graduate of Methodist Theological School in Ohio where they received their M. Div. and they were ordained by Piedmont Unitarian Universalist Church on April 3rd, 2021. Rev. Holly previously served as Interim Minister at the UU Church of Tallahassee in Florida (2021-2023).

 
Rev. Holly also served as Intern Minister at Piedmont UU Church in Charlotte, North Carolina (2019-2021), Student Minister at North UU Congregation in Lewis Center, Ohio (2017-2018), Student Chaplain (Clinical Pastoral Care) at Nationwide Children's Hospital (2018-2019), and Interim Director of Religious Education at the UU Congregation of Greenville, North Carolina (2015-2016).
