Welcome to UUFNW
We are a religious community without dogma or creed, where questions are welcomed and answers are diverse.
We believe it is more important to be together in relationship than to agree – even on fundamental theological questions.
We ground our faith in love, justice, freedom and responsibility. We invite all to worship, learn and celebrate with us, regardless of the many things that divide us in our world.
Whether you are a long time member or making your first visit, we’d love to see you here.

UUFNW's Policy and protocols for Responding to COVID 19 adopted 5/19/2021
Preamble
We honor our Principle that each person possesses inherent worth and dignity, and we insist that our congregation be a safe place, both physically and emotionally, for each person who comes through our doors. Further, we honor each person’s responsible search for the truth. Spiritual truth is personal, arising from the ways in which each person makes meaning of their life and finds connection with the world and its inhabitants. But, beliefs about the physical world must be based in science and fact to the extent possible. Recognizing that there is no absolute certainty in how to prevent the spread of Covid-19, research and observation have shown us our best opportunity for keeping each other safe, secure, and well, and the methods to secure our best chance to avoid spreading the disease to any of our beloved community.
Therefore, after due consideration, the members of the Board of Trustees have adopted this policy:
UUFNW expects each person who attends Fellowship-sponsored activities including worship services, gatherings, and meetings to have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 unless that person is under the age of 12 or has a health issue or condition which prevents safe vaccination. No one will be asked to show a vaccination card or other documentation of vaccination because we expect the truthfulness and compassion of each person.
Further, until further notice, all people who attend Fellowship activities, inside and outside, will be expected to wear a mask. For outdoor activities, masks may be removed when properly physically distanced ( 6 feet) apart.
This policy will be periodically reviewed and amended as necessary, remaining in alignment with UU principles, science, local and regional COVID-19 trends, and local and state laws.

Sabbatical Q&A with Rev. Michael
Like many UU congregations, every seven years or so UUFNW gives our minsters a sabbatical, a time for study and renewal. Since it is almost time for Rev. Michael Tino’s sabbatical to begin, congregation president Steffani Brandenburg sat down with Rev. Michael to talk about what is going to happen and the plan that is in place to make sure the Fellowship community thrives during those 5 months, starting in March. We encourage you to watch this video to learn more about this exciting new phase of our congregation’s life. A written transcript of this conversation is available here.
