Who We Are 

 

The Amarillo Unitarian Universalist Fellowship (AUUF) was founded in 1950. Then, as now, the AUUF is a community supportive of progressive-minded friends seeking fellowship, intellectual inquiry, spiritual growth, and service to others. Our vision is a world without borders where all are valued and supported; our mission is to be an inclusive progressive community for spiritual, intellectual and social transformation.

 

Unitarian Universalism is a non-creedal religion, or a "faith without a creed." People from all cultures, religious backgrounds, sexual orientations, gender identities, and lifestyles are embraced in their personal pursuit of religious truth.
