WELCOME!
As Unitarian
Universalists, we embrace the search for truth and meaning as a life-long
endeavor. This means that even after we have grown up that we are all forever
students of life.
At UUCF we hope to
provide a diverse array of opportunities for those who seek to deepen in
knowledge and in spirit; from our Covenant Groups to learning a new language
and from UU Theology to a study of The New Jim Crow, I hope you find something
to inspire your journey.
