  • A little about our committees

    Social Justice

    Grounded in our UU principles, we are committed to making the UUFP a force for positive social change in our community and in society at large. We advocate for peace, justice, compassion and caring. We encourage all church members to be engaged, through their deeds and generosity, in issues of local, national and global concern, and to develop action plans in areas of particular interest to them.

    Young Adults

    A very active group of folks between 18 and 30 Contact

    LGBT

    The work of dismantling oppression is not a one-time project but an on-going commitment to justice.  About two-thirds of Unitarian Universalist congregations in the United States are now recognized as Welcoming Congregations, having completed an extensive program covering the areas of education, congregational life and community outreach — but the work of committed inclusion continues! Contact

    Fellowship Circles

    Fellowship Circles are small supportive groups that offer an environment for spiritual and personal growth. They provide an opportunity to explore heart-level ideas and experiences with a diverse group of 7 to 10 individuals who meet twice a month in member’s homes. 

    The key to this successful program is the process of attentive deep listening, a community building technique advocated by the UU Small Group Ministry Network. This process encourages individuals to think deeply about their lives and beliefs in a way seldom experienced in everyday life. Contact

    Green Sanctuary

    The Green Sanctuary program offers a way to join our efforts, both symbolically and explicitly, with thousands of other Unitarian Universalists in congregations across the country. Green Sanctuary is designed to help congregations like ours develop and work toward a vision of healthier, more sustainable future Contact

    Denominational Affairs

    The UUFP is a member of the Southeast District that includes more than 70 churches in five states (Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia). The mission of the UUA Districts is to serve as a resource for local congregations and to help extend UU principles and influence in the larger community. Information and guidance are freely accessible on the full scope of congregational life including leadership, governance, worship, religious education, justice and diversity, fund raising and congregational growth.

    Membership

    Membership is open to all persons regardless of sex, race, creed, sexual orientation or national origin. A person becomes a member by signing the official Fellowship membership book witnessed by the Membership Chair, a member of the Policy Board, or the Minister. Prior to signing the Fellowship Membership book, the prospective member meets with the Minister or Membership Chair to review the rights and responsibilities of membership. A member maintains his/her membership by active participation in Fellowship functions and by making an annual financial contribution of record. Members have full voting rights and are eligible to serve as a Chair of a committee and/or be elected to any office. Contact
