Back to main website  Justice overview The Umpqua Unitarian Universalist Congregation (UUUC) of Roseburg Oregon welcomes all who seek a religious home free of creeds and dogma and guided by love, reason, and conscience. Our lives are enriched through mutual respect, deepened through the exchange of ideas, and nourished through the support of a caring congregation. Each person is important. Unitarian Universalists gather around the values of love, freedom, and dignity--and common vision for a just world.

Within our diversity, there are some things that unite us. We believe in the importance of...
