Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Established in 1959
Our Fellowship was chartered by a group of fifty-two people, with the generous help of the Palo Alto Unitarian Church. We began as a lay-led group, and called our first minister, Rev. William Houff, in 1964. After several other ministers, the Fellowship returned to lay-led status in 1983. In June 1967, our present building was purchased from First Christian Church. We paid off the mortgage in 1984.
In 1997 we welcomed Rev. Rachel Anderson, who would become our first settled minister in many years. During her ministry, the position grew from part-time to full-time.
In 2003 we called the Reverend Julia Older to guide our community. She served until her retirement in June 2013.
As of August 2014, the Reverend Stefanie Etzbach-Dale has been our settled minister.

What are your hours of operation?
Our Worship Service is Sunday mornings at 10:30am.
We want our children to develop a strong sense of personal values and to feel confident in expressing them and acting upon them. Our Religious Education program for children teaches ethical living, our Unitarian Universalist principles and heritage, and religions of the world, including Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Buddhist, Native American, and neo-Pagan teachings.
We offer our program in a way that gives children a framework they can build upon, so that they will grow up to become responsible adults and make wise decisions about what to believe and how to live.
Formal Sunday school classes are held during services from mid-September to mid-June every year, except during multigenerational services, held about once every other month, that are designed to be more child-friendly. We have fall, winter, and spring trimesters. Between the fall and winter trimesters (around the winter holidays), Intersession classes are held for Pre-K to 8th graders. During this time, the children do art, crafts, cooking, social action, and other activities focused on the different holidays of the season.
Child care is provided in the Block Room on Sunday mornings from 10 am to noon for those age 6 and under.
