The mission of the Eno River Unitarian Universalist Fellowship
is to transform lives by building a
free and inclusive covenantal religious community
of spirit, service, justice, and love.
Vision
The collective vision of the Eno River Unitarian Universalist Fellowship can be stated as the Ends it intends to achieve. These Ends were taken from multiple sources, including a congregational Appreciative Inquiry process; they were adopted by the Board of Trustees in May 2008.
