Northern Hills Fellowship May Be Right for You!

Relationship is the foundation of the NHF family. We are a small enough community to call each other by name, even the minister! And large enough to absorb a diversity of beliefs, thoughts and ideas.
Northern Hills Fellowship is proud to be recognized as a “Welcoming Congregation” by the Unitarian Universalist Association. This designation means that we are a faith community that welcomes and celebrates the presence and participation of bisexual, gay, lesbian and transgender people.

• And I want to participate in social action activities where I can live what I believe.

• I see the potential to become a voice for the UU principles, locally and globally.
• I want to have a voice in the decisions of my church.
