Okland Partner Church

The UUFA continues to support its sister congregation and its missions. In the past, we have helped to establish a bakery and a dairy and helped to repair and maintain buildings. In 2018, our Share the Plate contributions went towards providing stipends for five students. Two of the students are attending the Unitarian seminary and three students are attending university.

Children of the Okland Church

The UUFA honors our Transylvanian roots and the 25+ year relationship with Okland with the renovation of the Fellowship building, one room has been dedicated to this 25-year relationship and our Transylvanian roots. The former sofa room is now named the Kleiner Heritage Room. Maps, pictures, books, ceramics, and many other items are now held in this room and given a place of importance. Please come in and check it out.
