About Us

Our Fellowship

The UUFP is a member of the Joseph Priestley district, and a member of the Unitarian Universalist Association. We have approximately 60 adult members. We have Services each Sunday throughout the year, and children's Religious Education from September through May.

The Pottstown Unitarian Universalist Fellowship building, designed and constructed by members, has a wall of glass allowing us to enjoy the wonders of nature out-of-doors while being sheltered (mentally, physically and spiritually) inside.

It is here we enhance the experience of life, love and a common search.

In addition to Sunday activity, our building is used throughout the week by members of the community for public meetings, festivals, banquets, seminars, art shows, musical concerts, youth activities, weddings, memorial services, board and committee meetings and special events.
