UUCFM History


Since 1955, we have played a pivotal role in community advocating for such issues as

  • Human rights and racial justice
  • Fighting alcoholism and drug abuse
  • Literacy
  • Mental health
  • Voting rights
  • Women’s reproductive rights
  • Death with dignity

In 1992, the first Planned Parenthood Clinic in Lee County was established, led by members of our congregation.   We participated with a local coalition and won a major law suit in 1998 against the Lee County School Board for trying to force an unconstitutional Christian Bible Curriculum into the school system.  Then in 2005, UUCFM won recognition as a Welcoming Congregation for its overt acceptance and active inclusion of sexual minorities.  Equal marriage started January 6, 2015, at Lee County Clerk’s Office and at UUCFM same-sex wedding day on January 11, 2015, where eleven couples were gloriously married.

Our legacy of justice and inclusion continues today.  Be a part of it.  Make a difference.

Testimonials From Members - Why I Became A Unitarian Universalist

Antoinette Brown Blackwell (1825-1921), Unitarian minister.
“Throughout my life, I have addressed issues such as slavery abolition, temperance, and women's rights. In 1902, I helped found the Unitarian Society of Elizabeth, NJ, and served as its minister. In 1920, at age 95, I was the only participant from the 1850 Women's Rights Convention, in Worcester, MA, to see the passage of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, giving women the right to vote.”

Testimonials From Members - Why I Became A Unitarian Universalist

Nancy Letts
"As a UU, my life underwent many changes. I found and nourished a deep connection to something greater than myself that I call Spirit, or Creator. I’m a grateful UU still committed to finding deeper meaning in my life and to acting on these expanding beliefs in ways that help myself and others."
