Quimper Unitarian Universalist Fellowship

What Quimper Unitarian Universalist Fellowship does

Quimper Unitarian Universalist Fellowship (QUUF) is a religious congregation incorporated in Washington State as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, affiliated with the Unitarian Universalist Association, and based at 2333 San Juan Avenue in Port Townsend, WA. Founded in 1976 and governed under a shared/policy governance model since July 2021, it serves approximately 300 members and friends through weekly Sunday worship services offered both in-person and online via YouTube, an adult education program called ALSO, religious education for children and youth, pastoral care, and an extensive Social and Environmental Justice portfolio that includes Green Sanctuary environmental work, Native Connections with regional tribes, and housing action at the Jefferson County Emergency Shelter.

Operational reach is delivered through six councils (Program, Community & Learning, Growth & Learning, Operations, Social & Environmental Justice, and Spirit) and dozens of volunteer-led teams and committees. The organization holds UUA's Green Sanctuary designation (originally certified 2009, currently pursuing recertification through 11 new projects) and its Welcoming Congregation designation for LGBTQ+ inclusion. Day-to-day operations are staffed by an interim minister (Rev. Don Rollins, contract extended through July 2027), an assistant minister, a Director of Family Ministry, a Tech Support Specialist, and a Congregational Administrator, with the remainder of activity executed by approximately 37 named volunteer leaders.

The revenue model is a member-supported pledge model combined with fundraising. The 2025-2026 stewardship budget calls for $505K in pledges, with 66 households contributing an average Fair Share pledge of $1,725 (below the UUA benchmark of $2,257 for similarly sized congregations). Income is supplemented by annual fundraising events — a November auction ($63,642.34 net proceeds in one recent year), Book Sale, Dining for Dollars, Rummage Sale, Spring Concert Series, and UU're Home — and by designated offerings passed through to external partners such as Jefferson County food banks and the UU Service Committee. There is no commercial product, no proprietary technology platform, and no external customer base beyond the congregation and visitors it serves through its Port Townsend facility and online channels.

Expansion highlights6 records

Others

• Interfaith Power and Light: Faith-based nonprofit mobilizing congregations on climate action, comparable to QUUF on the environmental justice work the Green Sanctuary program represents; an adjacent ecosystem player rather than a direct congregation peer.
• UU Ministry for Earth: UU-aligned nonprofit explicitly named as QUUF's environmental ministry partner; comparable on the Green Sanctuary / environmental accreditation axis and a natural ecosystem peer for joint programming.

Direct peers

• Bellingham Unitarian Fellowship: Small Pacific Northwest UU congregation sharing QUUF's fellowship model, lay-led programming, and progressive social-justice orientation; closely comparable in size and structure.
• Tahoma Unitarian Universalist Congregation: Mid-sized Washington-state UU congregation offering the same Sunday worship, RE, and social justice programming, making it a near-twin operating model to QUUF's six-council structure.
• University Unitarian Church (Seattle): Pacific Northwest UU congregation of comparable size and program breadth, sharing the same UU identity, governance reforms, and progressive justice focus; one of the closest direct peers to QUUF geographically and structurally.
• Shoreline Unitarian Universalist Church: Another Washington-state UU congregation of similar scale, providing Sunday services, RE, and justice programming that overlaps directly with QUUF's offerings.
• Olympia Unitarian Universalist Congregation: Washington-state UU congregation within the same Pacific Northwest UU cluster; serves as a directly comparable peer for membership scale, programming, and progressive identity.
• East Shore Unitarian Church: Bellevue, WA-based UU congregation with comparable Pacific Northwest membership scale and similar liberal/progressive program mix; directly comparable to QUUF in demographic and program profile.

Broad incumbents

• Unitarian Universalist Association: National denominational body that all UU congregations affiliate with; comparable as the broader institutional umbrella governing QUUF's theology, credentialing, and programs (e.g., Green Sanctuary, Welcoming Congregation), but operates at national rather than congregational scale.
• First Unitarian Church of Portland: Significantly larger Pacific Northwest UU congregation with overlapping programs in RE, social justice, and environmental work; comparable category but much larger scale than QUUF.
