Communications & Outreach

Welcome! At UUCF, our goal is to nourish relationships by cultivating an inclusive, diverse safe space where all seekers feel a genuine, deep sense of belonging. We want to make sure that visitors, members, and the curious can easily navigate and access all we have to offer, from community service and public educational events, to thoughtful small group studies and discussions, to fun and light social gatherings and celebrations. If you have any questions, reach out to us at outreach@uufullerton.org.

What we do

The mission of our the Communications & Outreach Team is to radiate the light of UUCF to illuminate pathways of connection with the wider world through genuine relationship building, restorative storytelling and narrative shifting, decentralization of dominant voices and culture, inclusive access and ease of information, mutual aid, and emancipation education.

How we do it

We Shine (Visibility): We share our story with the wider world, using restorative storytelling, narrative shifting, and inclusive and accessible auditing to ensure our community is known, seen, and available to all seekers.

We Grow (Congregational Nurture): We facilitate inclusive growth by clarifying the paths to belonging through centralized access, removing gatekeeping and bridging the gap to participation. We decenter dominant voices and culture, to ensure that our communication and public presence reflects our true values, as well as the lived, diverse reality of our community.

We Act (Social Justice & Impact): We mobilize our collective power through service, mutual aid, and strategic advocacy to address both the immediate and systemic needs of our neighbors, putting our commitment to anti-racism and anti-oppression into visible action.

What it looks like

Representation: Posts, videos, blogs, music, and stories about Unitarian Universalists and other people of different cultures, ages, and abilities centered on their identity, strengths, and agency, from their point of view

Accessibility: Translations of content in Spanish, alternate text for images, organized hierarcy of type size, more graphics to accompany and break up text, low tech print copies, and content that is relevant to a wider community; internal restorative conversations that challenge our biases, educating ourselves on systems of racism and oppression, clarifying the values and language of inclusion.

Restorative Education: Hosting and promoting events on systemic injustice that honor agency and independence and offer paths toward collective healing and restoration: workshops, trainings, advocacy, service projects, vigils, fundraisers, collection drives

Outreach

Our outreach programs and systems are set up to support members, volunteers, visitors, and anyone who wants to make or maintain a personal connection and pursue spiritual growth at UUCF. In accordance with our mission, our fellowship goals are:

Nurturing the Congregation: We believe that deep, loving relationships are the foundation of our spiritual home. We plan and promote events, social gatherings, and fun activities that strengthen our bonds, foster friendships, and bring us joy.

Sustaining Our Flame: We practice what we preach by caring for ourselves. We ensure our communication channels keep us connected so we can show up for one another in times of need, celebration, and transition.

Events as Our Public Witness: Our public events—whether a justice rally, an educational workshop, or a community game night—are the primary way the community experiences our covenant. Every gathering is an invitation to the public to see our light, join our journey, and build genuine, loving relationships with us.
