The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Central Oregon (UUFCO) is a liberal intergenerational religious community of over 300 members. Located in Bend, Oregon we draw congregants from Redmond, Sisters, Sunriver, Terrebonne, Prineville, Powell Butte, La Pine, and beyond. UUFCO is dedicated to lifelong learning, freedom of belief, caring fellowship, spiritually meaningful services, and engaged social action. Our members and friends hold an eclectic range of theological views. All are welcome.

  • Together, we find meaning, celebrate life, and serve the spirit of love and justice in our world

    • We nourish lives through relevant worship, musical experiences, the arts, and opportunities for spiritual growth.

    • Our diverse, all-ages community welcomes new people in, connects through authentic and meaningful relationships, and is dedicated to mutual service.

    • Our social justice and environmental values are active within our fellowship and recognizable in the wider community through our work with local organizations, interfaith partnerships, and public witness

  • Our Relational Covenant is the commitment we make to one another. It expresses our promise for how we want to be in relationship with each other, so we can nurture and sustain loving community within our congregation and in the larger world. These promises are the very heart of our faith tradition, right along with the Seven Principles of Unitarian Universalism. The spiritual energy of this faith community is fueled by the way we approach, connect with, respect and treat each other. It is about loving relationships that strive to honor the integrity of each person.

  • The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Central Oregon (UUFCO) was established in 1958. UUFCO was a lay-led congregation for its first 45 years. Since 2004 when we hired our first minister, we have experienced steady growth from a small congregation without a building to congregation of over 300 members with many programs and a new church home, completed in 2015. We welcomed our settled minister, Rev. Scott Rudolph, in August 2017.
