The Church of Universal Fellowship 
...a house for all people. 

Worship with us Sundays at 10:15 am

  82 Main Street in Orono, Maine

Sincerity of conviction requires intellectual freedom. 
Join us for worship and service, not because we have all the answers 
but because we encourage the relevant questions.
