What UUFDC Shares About Its Congregation and Governance

UUFDC (the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Door County) publishes its congregational identity and governance information directly on uufdc.org, organized under an About Us section. That section covers who the fellowship is, what it believes, its history, its leadership structure, and member-facing resources. If you want to understand how the fellowship describes itself and how it is run, these are the pages to read.

What the "About Us" section covers

The site groups its organizational information under these headings:

• Our Congregation – who the fellowship is as a community
• What We Believe – the fellowship's stated beliefs and principles
• Our History – the fellowship's background
• UUFDC In the News – external coverage of the fellowship
• Path to Membership – how someone becomes a member
• Our Speakers – information about service speakers
• Fellowship Job Postings – open roles at the fellowship

The site also states the fellowship's vision and mission on its homepage: it describes itself as "a welcoming and inclusive religious presence in Door County," envisions "a world empowered by reason, compassion, and love," and says its mission is guided by the Seven Principles of Unitarian Universalism — celebrating diverse beliefs, inviting spiritual growth, intellectual inquiry, and creative expression, and caring for the well-being of its fellowship family.

Governance: board, staff, and committees

The site lists three governance-related pages:

These pages are the place to look for who holds leadership roles and how the fellowship organizes its work. The site also maintains a UUFDC Bylaws page, which is the governing document for the fellowship.

Member and archival resources

Beyond public-facing pages, UUFDC provides resources aimed at members and friends:

• Members & Friends Directory – a directory of the fellowship community
• Governing Archives – archived governance records
• Caring Committee – a committee focused on member care
• Memorial Garden – information about the fellowship's memorial garden
• Newsletter & Podcast Library – past newsletters and podcast content
• UUFDC Building Use – information about using the fellowship building

Note that some of these (such as the directory) may be intended for members rather than the general public; the site does not state access requirements, so check the page itself if you need to confirm.

Practical details tied to the congregation

The homepage also gives concrete information about gathering:

• Sunday Services are held at 10 AM, described as "Accessible Onsite & Online."
• Services are live streamed on YouTube, and past service recordings are available on the site.
• The fellowship is located at 10341 Water Street HWY 42, PO BOX 587, Ephraim, WI 54211, with directions available.
• The Art Gallery is open Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday 1–4 PM and Sunday 9–2.
• Poetry Night is held at 7 PM on the second Wednesday of each month.

Upcoming services are listed with dates, titles, and speakers — for example, "Defending Democracy – Beyond Party Lines with Tammie Grossman" and "The Ontological Argument with Dr. Terry Goode," both at 10:00 AM on their respective Sundays.

How to use this information

If you are deciding whether to visit or join, start with What We Believe and Our Congregation to see whether the fellowship's stated identity matches what you are looking for, then check Path to Membership for the process. If you are researching the fellowship's structure or records, the Governing Board, Standing Committees, UUFDC Bylaws, and Governing Archives pages are the relevant sources. If you want to attend first, the homepage's Sunday Services listing and the YouTube stream give you a way to watch before visiting in person.
