The UU Fellowship of Clinton is located at 309 30th Avenue North, in Clinton Iowa, and its mission is "to provide a welcoming, caring space where we embrace diversity, nurture intellectual and spiritual growth, promote social justice, and encourage stewardship of our planet."

The congregation -- which includes members from Clinton, Camanche and Preston, Iowa, and from Savanna, Fulton and Rock Island, Illinois -- welcomes all people of all faiths, and those who are skeptics, as well, to share in the life of the church.

Sunday services are held each week at 10:30am, and these gatherings reflect a diversity of thought and belief just as our membership does.  Each Sunday, we gather afterwards to discuss the topic(s) addressed in the service and message that day.  This open discussion fosters back-and-forth dialogue on a wide range of topics, and allows for in-depth conversation instead of a no-questions-asked sermon delivered by a "religious authority."

The church building is also available for weddings (including same-gender or same-sex marriages), child dedications, memorials or funerals, and other gatherings.  Rental of the church is available to members and non-members in the community, and to UUs and others from out-of-town or out-of-state -- including those who are traveling to our community so that they can have access to marriage equality in Iowa.

Discounts on the building rental and on fees for the minister (that's me) are available to those who book both for the same event.

The UU Fellowship of Clinton is a member congregation of the Unitarian Universalist Association.

The living tradition which we share draws from many sources:

Direct experience of that transcending mystery and wonder, affirmed in all cultures, which moves us to a renewal of the spirit and an openness to the forces which create and uphold life;

Words and deeds of prophetic women and men which challenge us to confront powers and structures of evil with justice, compassion, and the transforming power of love;

Wisdom from the world's religions which inspires us in our ethical and spiritual life;

Jewish and Christian teachings which call us to respond to God's love by loving our neighbors as ourselves;

Humanist teachings which counsel us to heed the guidance of reason and the results of science, and warn us against idolatries of the mind and spirit.

Spiritual teachings of earth-centered traditions which celebrate the sacred circle of life and instruct us to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature.
