"Love is the spirit of this fellowship, and service is its law. To dwell together in peace, to seek the truth in love, to help one another, this is our covenant."

With these words, the members of Northern Hills Fellowship come together each Sunday morning to celebrate religious freedom and diversity, to help each other on our spiritual journeys, to share our joys and sorrows, and to experience fellowship with others who respect and accept us.

We're a diverse group, but we share many warm friendships. Our congregation of approximatey 150 members consists of both young and old, singles and families with children, new members as well as those who helped found our congregation nearly forty years ago.

What are our backgrounds? A recent survey of our congregation showed that a majority (55 percent) were raised in a Protestant religion, with a sizable number (17 percent) having a Roman Catholic upbringing. Nearly 10 percent of us are lifelong UUs.

Within our congregation today, about 30 percent consider themselves humanistic, while about 15 percent are mystics, and another 13 percent are agnostic. The rest may find it difficult to pin down a simple description of their beliefs.

Many of us feel fortunate to have found a religious and spiritual home, a place where diversity is celebrated, and where religious differences are embraced.

We invite you to join us for services any Sunday morning, to walk our Labyrinth on our grounds, or to visit during one of our special events. If you'd like someone to contact you with more information, you may send an email to info@uunhf.org or call our Fellowship office at (513) 931-6651.
