What we do

We are a Unitarian Universalist Fellowship. Residents do not have to be Unitarian Universalist, and can subscribe/ belong to any, or no, spiritual or religious belief or organization. Living here means that you support the activities of the Fellowship. We collaborate with you to design whatever fits in to your lifestyle. Some help simply by keeping the grounds tidy and respectable; or helping with the running of services and activities. We are currently housing 5 residents and can accommodate one more depending on circumstances.

Our Vision

We seek and share the light of truth through the warmth of love in community as we work on behalf of our commitment to peace.
We accomplish our mission by
Building a UU community that empowers our fellowship creating lay-led clergy and nurturing connections with the greater community
Promoting, embracing, nurturing our UU principles and traditions in our relationships with one another, our communities and the world at large
Welcoming and honoring diversity, and
Promoting peace and social justice at home and abroad by serving with compassion and commitment
