The UUFM began as a Unitarian Fellowship in 1951 as a group of people meeting in each others’ homes to discuss religious concerns and to design a religious education program for their children.

In 1961, with the national merger of the American Unitarian Association and the Universalist Church of America, the Fellowship changed its name to the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Mankato.

Since those early years, the Fellowship has grown in size from 25 to over 100 adult members. The congregation also includes many who are actively involved but choose not to become members, making our present congregation of members and friends number around 140.

The meetinghouse at 114 Pohl Road in Mankato was our home for 44 years.

On February 13, 2005, we left our beloved old meeting house and moved to our new location at 937 Charles Avenue.

Jane Foster, one of the original UUFM founding members, wrote of her memories of the beginning of our fellowship.
