Decorah Unitarian Universalist, established in 2005, is a welcoming lay-led fellowship of diverse thinkers and believers who gather together to explore spirituality, share one another’s joys and concerns and work together to make our community and the world a better place.  Members and friends of Decorah UU come from communities in NE Iowa and SE Minnesota and congregate Sunday mornings at The Lingonberry on Water Street in Decorah.  Although diverse in backgrounds and beliefs, we are united in our belief that no one person or church can define the whole of truth for us; we are all free to conduct our own search for truth and meaning.

Our Sunday services feature readings from many sources and traditions, hymns and other music, messages and speakers, ranging from the theological to the personal to the humanistic.

We are a part of the Unitarian Universalist Association (over 1,000 UU congregations throughout the United States and Canada).  With historic roots in the Jewish and Christian traditions, Unitarian Universalists today include an expanding circle of understanding and choice in religious faith — UU’s can be Christian, Jewish, atheist, Humanist, Pagan, Buddhist, yet we all join together in the exploration of life’s fundamental spiritual truths and to find purpose in our lives by actively seeking justice and peace in our world.
