About Us
Welcome to the website of the Mt. Vernon Unitarian Universalist Fellowship (MTVUUF). We are a lay-led UU Fellowship located at 1600 Isabella Avenue, in the city of Mt. Vernon, Illinois. We hold services every Sunday at 10 a.m. We are lay-led, so each service is different. Come on out and see what we are all about!

In 2005, our Fellowship focused on the following as our mission statement for the MVUUF:
“Embracing Diversity, Welcoming Everyone,
We, the members of this fellowship, agree to affirm and promote the seven principles of the Unitarian Universalist Association, and to strive to enable spiritual, intellectual, ethical, and emotional growth for all ages, work for compassionate justice, and respect the interdependence of all existence.”
- 1st Principle: The inherent worth and dignity of every person;
- 2nd Principle: Justice, equity and compassion in human relations;
- 3rd Principle: Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations;
- 4th Principle: A free and responsible search for truth and meaning;
- 5th Principle: The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large;
- 6th Principle: The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all;
- 7th Principle: Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.
We are a Welcoming Congregation, which welcomes diversity of race, sexual orientation, age, abilities, culture, religious backgrounds, and beliefs.
