Our Congregation
The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Central Oregon (UUFCO), established in 1958, 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 other outlying areas. 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.
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.
