Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Huntington, NY

December 7, 1947: Our history begins with the first service held in Northport. 1956: The congregation was officially incorporated under the laws of New York State as The Unitarian Fellowship of North Suffolk and moved to Huntington, meeting first in Temple Beth-El on Park Avenue. 1957: Purchased Carter House on Gaines Street. 1962: As membership continued to expand, the congregation purchased 4 acres at 109 Brown’s Road, which were originally part of the former McKesson Brown Estate. The buildings were renovated. 1965: After the merger of the Unitarian and the Universalist denominations, the congregation’s name was formally changed to The Unitarian-Universalist Fellowship of Huntington (UUFH). 1984: A new sanctuary was built. Our commitment has always been both to champion and to inform our lives with the principles and purposes of Unitarian Universalism as well as to foster spiritual and intellectual growth while respecting each person’s unique journey, to nurture children and youth in a loving supportive religious environment, and, for the larger society, to witness and act on issues of social justice. We have participated in many of the compelling challenges of the day, working to provide affordable housing locally, to secure civil rights for all Americans and to participate in interfaith programs, which aid local homeless persons. We are a vital congregation of caring people who would welcome you.
