Our Mission
We seek to be a place where each person’s unique worth and beliefs are acknowledged and respected and where each person’s voice may be heard – a place in which each may freely explore their own spiritual path.
We join with others in reaching out to make the world more just and commit ourselves to caring for each and all that makes up the web of life.
We strive to be a source of inspiration, a forum of exchange, a wellspring of comfort to those in need, and a nurturing, supportive community for each other and our children.
Our Beliefs
As Unitarian Universalists, we bring our whole selves, our full identity, our questioning minds, and our expansive hearts. Together, we create a force more powerful than one person or one belief system. Our beliefs are diverse and inclusive. While we have no shared creed, we are united in the free and responsible search for truth and meaning.
Unitarian Universalists believe more than one thing. We think for ourselves, and reflect together about important questions, while finding unity in commitment to our principles.
Our work for social justice; our quest to include the marginalized; our expressions of love drive us to dedicate time and resources to Environmental and Social Action efforts.
Our Story
Building community through mutual respect and support
Our Fellowship
Exploration—it’s a haven for friendship, connection, and shared values inspired by Unitarian principles. Experience a safe and inclusive environment that encourages genuine connections, community events, and a profound sense of belonging.
Unique to most spiritual groups, we do not have a paid ministry. As a not-for-profit organization, all positions and efforts are conducted by volunteers, dedicated to serving each other and serving the community. While the exterior of our building is modest, the interior has a beautiful sanctuary, gifted by the Marjorie Milne Estate.
One of our goals is to enrich individuals and families with young children. We are a place where children can learn from their elders, explore spiritual topics, and understand the criticality of inclusivity, equity, and justice.
We seek to be a place where each person’s unique worth and beliefs are acknowledged and respected and where each person’s voice may be heard – a place in which each may freely explore their own spiritual path. We know that we have a great deal to learn from our LGBTQIA+ communities and allies and are committed to providing a welcoming and safe space for all people.
We offer the opportunity to gather in community, with hearts open to the mysteries of love, and minds open to the wisdom of truth. Individually we come from a variety of religious backgrounds, but we are united in our shared mission, beliefs and principles.
If you are searching for greater meaning, and connection to the community, please join us on Sundays from 10 – 11:00 AM, followed by a coffee hour with conversation and refreshments. We meet the first Sunday after Labor Day through the last Sunday in May and also host an annual picnic during May.
What to expect?
During the first hour enjoy music, the sharing of joys and concerns, and unique, community-based programs with local speakers, artists, musicians, civic and spiritual leaders. The program is followed by an opportunity to collaborate and socialize over coffee and snacks.
We are grateful to Maria Isaak for providing music during Sunday services.
Maria received her MA from New England Conservatory and has taught and played professionally for thirty years in northern New England, California, Chile, and China.
She conducts the New Horizons Band for adults and Purple Finches Youth Choirs at the Concord Community Music School, teaches bassoon at Saint Paul’s School and is a frequent freelance musician in local orchestras as well as her reed trio, Avalyn.
Maria and her husband Nick have three adult children (Benjamin, Theodore, and Sophia) who grew up attending the Fellowship. They reside in the Faculty neighborhood with two cats, a dog, chickens, ducks and a guard goose named Mertie.
Maria is interested in collaborative music making. If you are a singer or a musician and would like to be a part of an upcoming service, please let her know at [email protected].
The Durham Unitarian Fellowship is a wonderful family of kindness.

We seek to be a place where each person’s unique worth and beliefs are acknowledged and respected and where each person’s voice may be heard – a place in which each may freely explore their own spiritual path. We affirm and promote:
Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part
Justice, equity, and compassion in human relations
The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large
A free and responsible search for truth and meaning
Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth
The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all
The inherent worth and dignity of every person
We are a group of curious thinkers and doers.
