Welcome to the Fellowship

Welcome from the Ministers

We are so glad that you are checking out the Fox Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship!

We know that finding a new spiritual home (or your first one ever) can be a big deal. We applaud your taking this step to find a congregation to join you on your spiritual path.

Here are few suggestions for getting the most out of your exploration:

Come a few times to get a feel for our services. You can attend the informal, conversational 9 am coffeehouse during the program year, or the 11 am more “traditional” service in person or on Zoom (in the summer months that service is at 10 am). For more information visit the Upcoming Services page of this site.

Don’t hesitate to ask anyone, especially ministers or staff, if you have a question. No question is too small or too obvious. We’re here to help you get connected! Click here for our Staff Directory page.

Unitarian Universalism is a lived-faith: one that doesn’t just happen in our minds, but happens through our words and actions. We are committed to searching for truth and meaning in many ways and places. To learn more about Unitarian Universalism, who we are, and what we believe, visit our About Unitarian Universalism page.

Get involved! Almost everything at the Fellowship is available to you as a newcomer to the Fellowship. If you want to attend an event, sing in the choir, or participate on a team, go for it! Click the Adult Connections tab on this site to find out all the ways to get involved.

We are a friendly, inclusive community but we promise not to pressure you or bombard you with information. We look forward to welcoming you.

With love,

Rev. Christina Leone-Tracy & Rev. Hannah Roberts Villnave,

Fellowship Co-Ministers

To find dates and times for the following programs, visit our Events & News page.

Tell Me More! UU Edition – A few times each year on a Sunday after the second service from 12:15-1:45 pm, we offer a chance to join one of our ministers for an informal introduction to Unitarian Universalism, our Fellowship, and to get your questions answered! This is a wonderful session for newcomers, or long-timers who need a refresher.

Newcomer 101 – A few times each year, during our Middle Hour on Sunday from 10:10-10:50 am, we welcome newcomers for an informal Q&A session led by someone from our Membership Team. This is a great way to learn a little more about us, in a short simple format.

Pop-Up Membership Ceremony – If you’ve been coming for a while and think you’re ready to join as a member, or you want to find out more about what that means, join us for one of our twice-annual Pop-Up Membership Ceremonies during Middle Hour (10:10 am) or after the second service (12:15 pm). You’ll learn more about the rights and responsibilities of membership and have a chance to sign the membership book to make it official. If you find that you’re ready to join as a member at another time of year, simply contact one of our ministers to set up a time to join.
