WELCOME to the Fox Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Appleton, Wisconsin.

We are a vibrant, liberal religious community welcoming all who wish to grow spiritually, no matter what your background is. This is a congregation in which you will meet Buddhists, theists, humanists, agnostics, Christians and more. As a faith, we don't identify exclusively with any of these, but offer ways of deepening spirituality on whatever path each individual chooses. We help our children develop their spiritual curiosity and appreciation for life’s gifts through celebrating and learning from all of the world’s religions. You are invited to join us on this journey. Whether you are a member, friend or visitor, you are welcome to attend our services and other events. 

The guiding principles that we affirm and promote are:
• The inherent worth and dignity of every person
• Justice, equity and compassion in human relations
• Acceptance of one another and encouragement of spiritual growth in our congregations
• A free and responsible search for truth and meaning
• The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and society at large
• The goal of world community with peace, liberty and justice for all
• Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part

The Fox Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship is a Welcoming Congregation, which means we affirm same-sex marriage and the equal rights of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people. ALL are welcome here.

The Fox Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Mission Statement:

We work together joyfully to create a welcoming, caring, and diverse community. We support and challenge each other in our mutual search for meaning on life’s journey. We celebrate and act upon our Unitarian Universalist principles to build a better world. -Adopted January 28, 2001
