Minister
"Welcome to our rural liberal church."
"We are glad you are visiting the Outlaw’s Bridge Universalist Church website and hope you will come in person to worship with us on Sundays and participate in our activities. Outlaw’s Bridge Universalist Church has offered a unique voice of freedom, reason and compassion in religious matters since 1905 when the congregation was formally organized. Prior to the congregation’s formal organization, people gathered for many years near where the church now stands to learn and develop their own theology based on the principle, God is Love."
"Our covenantal church has a long tradition of people who strive to live lives that bear witness to Universal love and the divine unity that binds all creation. The “Living Tradition” we share draws from many wisdom sources and we encourage one another to develop an authentic relationship with the holy and struggle with life’s big questions. What is the purpose of our lives, the nature of humanity, and the meaning of death? How do we live the doctrine of love in our daily lives? How do we live with integrity and align our gifts in service to a hurting world?"
"We respect differences and affirm the inherent worth and dignity of every person. Children, families, and people of all ages are welcome at Outlaw’s Bridge Universalist Church. Every Sunday of the year, we welcome people of all races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, political persuasions, abilities, economic classes, and gender identities to join us here as we transform lives through compassion, service and fellowship."
These are the words of our most recent minister, Reverend Claudia Frost.
We have had many ministers who have served us well and for many
years. We are proud to recognize two of these former pastors with
the title of Minister Emeritus: Reverend Claudia M. Frost who
retired in 2021 and Reverend Justin Lapoint who retired in 2014.
Both devoted many years serving our church, providing us with Sunday
services, giving us pastoral care and leadership.
We are presently between ministers. However, every Sunday
morning at 11:00 a.m. you can worship with a guest minister, guest
speaker, music service, or lay service. Service topics are varied,
always interesting, informative, and inspirational.
"Come join us on our religious journey."
