Mission Statement
This fellowship exists to serve the human needs of its members and friends, to stimulate individual development of a positive and ethical philosophy of life, and to provide a common shelter for everyone’s personal growth – Founded, February 22, 1998 –
Our fellowship is part of a living tradition. Like all things in nature, our spirituality and moral commitments are continually evolving; we are open to change. We are also a community with a deep sense of place. Our faith is connected to Lake Superior, the natural world which surrounds us, and the northern communities of Wisconsin and its neighboring states.
