WELCOME to the Fox Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Appleton, Wisconsin.
We are a liberal religion and a vibrant community welcoming all who wish to grow spiritually, no matter what your background is. Unitarian Universalism is a liberal religious community which doesn’t identify with any one creed or belief system. Unitarian Universalism includes people who are inspired by Christianity, Buddhism, atheism, agnosticism, Hinduism, Humanism, Judaism, Islam, Paganism, and other diverse and divergent spiritual inclinations. 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.
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
