Our Vision... to be realized by 2015
We envision our community as a mid-size congregation of 150-300 members and friends, growing, and recognized as a welcoming place for those who value our liberal principles. Because we are growing, specific efforts are made to integrate newcomers into our life together. They are asked to help with Sunday Service tasks, invited to study groups and welcomed to social activities. Long-term members enter into mentoring relationships with those who have recently joined our Fellowship.
Our Sunday Services are varied, led by our professional and lay leadership. We have a choir which sings frequently, and often there are instrumental pieces. People who visit comment on how welcoming and friendly we are. We have a full-time minister and a full-time religious education director, who also helps with community outreach and justice projects. Our building is maintained by both volunteers and a part-time sexton.
We meet in a large building, with adequate classrooms and a sanctuary space which can be modified for social activities. There is a library, several staff offices, a youth meeting room, and a garden which has a meditation area.
Our building is occupied almost every hour of the day and evening with activities - either UUFB or the community. There are groups for study and intellectual/spiritual growth, a youth club, and a campus ministry outreach. Special interest groups meet monthly and there are many social activities just for fun.
Our justice activities are focused in one area of need which was determined by the Social Justice committee. We contribute money, time, and volunteer work to this project. Often, we are asked by other groups in the community to support their work on the environment, on human rights, and on economic fairness.
Some people refer to us as their “spiritual filling station”. Others call us their “church” or “community” or “fellowship”. Whatever the term, our life together supports us so we can care for one another and put our principles into action to make the world a little bit better.
