About the
Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Durango

The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Durango is currently a group of about one hundred members and friends who seek their own spirituality individually, together. We are an open-minded and tolerant group that uses reason, compassion and spirituality as our tools for personal and communal growth. We leave specific theological doctrine up to each individual, however we believe firmly in our principles. (see principles & beliefs).

We meet Sundays at 10:00 am for a worship service that include: reflection, readings, singing and a talk that is more informative and thought provoking than it is a sermon. This talk is delivered by a visiting UU minister, a UUFD member or friend or someone who is knowledgeable on a particular subject of interest to us. Lively discussion follows each talk. We have chosen to be a lay led group and in addition to our Sunday serviceswe often get together for: discussion groups, circle suppers, potlucks, family outings, after service lunches, and a variety of other ways that we are active in the Durango community.

Our ‘UU Kids’ program which meets every Sunday of the month, is growing rapidly and we offer childcare during every Sunday service. Our UU Kids learn about other cultures, traditions, religions and belief systems as well as our own Unitarian Universalist principles and beliefs. Most importantly our UU Kids group gives children and families in Durango a place to come together for our common good. It is a place to establish roots for the children, where they will be respected and supported on their own life path.

The UUFD was founded here in Durango in 1967 and becoming a member is a simple process that includes signing the membership book and making an annual financial contribution determined by you. We search for truth and meaning and we welcome all to come grow with us spiritually.

The UUFD Mission Statement is to:

• Provide a home for the individual spiritual search and religious
  development.
  
• Serve our community by putting our beliefs into action.
  
• Provide religious education for all interested members and others.
