We welcome your whole self, with all your truths and your doubts, your worries and your hopes. Join us this Sunday!

Our Beliefs

Who We Are

Together, we create a force more powerful than one person or one belief system. Our beliefs are diverse and inclusive. We commit to a shared set of principles, and we are united in the free and responsible search for truth and meaning. We think for ourselves and reflect together about important questions while finding unity in commitment to our principles.

Guided by our principle of “respect for the interdependent web of all existence,” we actively engage in local charitable efforts, including fundraising, volunteering, and community support.

Our Mission

We seek to be a place where each person’s unique worth and beliefs are acknowledged and respected and where each person’s voice may be heard – a place in which each may freely explore their own spiritual path.

We join with others in reaching out to make the world more just and commit ourselves to caring for each and all that makes up the web of life.

We strive to be a source of inspiration, a forum of exchange, a wellspring of comfort to those in need, and a nurturing, supportive community for each other and our children.

Our Beliefs

As Unitarian Universalists, we bring our whole selves, our full identity, our questioning minds, and our expansive hearts. Together, we create a force more powerful than one person or one belief system. Our beliefs are diverse and inclusive. While we have no shared creed, we are united in the free and responsible search for truth and meaning.

Unitarian Universalists believe more than one thing. We think for ourselves, and reflect together about important questions, while finding unity in commitment to our principles.

Our work for social justice; our quest to include the marginalized; our expressions of love drive us to dedicate time and resources to Environmental and Social Action efforts.

Building community through mutual respect and support

Our Fellowship

Our fellowship offers more than just a space for spiritual exploration—it’s a haven for friendship, connection, and shared values inspired by Unitarian principles. Experience a safe and inclusive environment that encourages genuine connections, community events, and a profound sense of belonging.

Unique to most spiritual groups, we do not have a paid ministry. As a not-for-profit organization, all positions and efforts are conducted by volunteers, dedicated to serving each other and serving the community. While the exterior of our building is modest, the interior has a beautiful sanctuary, gifted by the Marjorie Milne Estate.

One of our goals is to enrich individuals and families with young children. We are a place where children can learn from their elders, explore spiritual topics, and understand the criticality of inclusivity, equity, and justice.

We seek to be a place where each person’s unique worth and beliefs are acknowledged and respected and where each person’s voice may be heard – a place in which each may freely explore their own spiritual path. We know that we have a great deal to learn from our LGBTQIA+ communities and allies and are committed to providing a welcoming and safe space for all people.

We offer the opportunity to gather in community, with hearts open to the mysteries of love, and minds open to the wisdom of truth. Individually we come from a variety of religious backgrounds, but we are united in our shared mission, beliefs and principles.

If you are searching for greater meaning, and connection to the community, please join us on Sundays from 10 – 11:00 AM, followed by a coffee hour with conversation and refreshments. We meet the first Sunday after Labor Day through the last Sunday in May and also host an annual picnic during May.

What to expect?

During the first hour enjoy music, the sharing of joys and concerns, and unique, community-based programs with local speakers, artists, musicians, civic and spiritual leaders. The program is followed by an opportunity to collaborate and socialize over coffee and snacks.

Mary Doane, our dedicated music director, plays a crucial role in shaping the atmosphere of our Sunday services from 10 – 11:00 AM. We believe in the power of music to inspire, uplift, and connect individuals on their spiritual journeys.

Collaborating with local speakers, artists, and leaders, Mary contributes to the program each week using a diverse selection of music. Her selections align with our principles of justice, equity, and respect for the interdependent web of all existence.

The Durham Unitarian Fellowship is a wonderful family of kindness.

Our Principles

We seek to be a place where each person’s unique worth and beliefs are acknowledged and respected and where each person’s voice may be heard – a place in which each may freely explore their own spiritual path. We affirm and promote:

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

Justice, equity, and compassion in human relations

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

A free and responsible search for truth and meaning

Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth

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

The inherent worth and dignity of every person

We are a group of curious thinkers and doers.
