Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Yellow Springs

The UUFYS welcomes and celebrates diversity. Individuals of all races, ethnic origins, religious philosophies and gender/sexual orientations are included and supported.

The UUFYS was organized in 1956, is chartered with the national Unitarian Universalist Association, and is a part of the Heartland District of the UUA. We are called a "fellowship" rather than a "church" because we do not have a paid minister but are lay-led, with governance by an elected Executive Board. All programs and activities are planned and led by volunteers, with an occasional visiting minister for Sunday services.

Members are encouraged to present Sunday programs on a topic they choose. Sunday morning programs are offered year-round from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., followed by coffee hour. On the first Sunday of each month, there is also a potluck brunch following the service.

Liberal religious education for children and baby/toddler care are provided during Sunday morning programs. Religious or spiritual exploration for adults is offered through small groups led by volunteers; some meet Sunday mornings before services, others differ evenings of the month.
