UNITY FELLOWSHIP CHURCH MOVEMENT
GOD IS LOVE AND LOVE IS FOR EVERYONE!
Founded in 1982 by Archbishop Carl Bean, the Unity Fellowship Church Movement (UFCM) is an international movement of churches working together to facilitate social change and improve the lives of those who may feel less than welcome at their houses of worship. At any Unity Fellowship Church, we take to heart the words “God is love and love is for everyone!” Our primary work is to proclaim the sacredness of all lives, focusing on empowering those who have been oppressed and made to feel excluded and ashamed. UFCM brings the message of God’s unconditional love and the principles of liberation theology to often ostracized communities. UFCM opens its doors to all of God’s people, especially those fighting for social justice. The churches within our movement offer those seeking to worship God, in spirit and truth, a place to come just as they are.

Unity Fellowship Church of Washington, DC (UFCDC) has been preaching and teaching that “GOD IS ABLE” to the DC, Maryland and Virginia communities since we opened in 2002. Archbishop Carl Bean and UFCDC’s Founding Pastor, Rev. Dyan Akosua McCray established UFCDC in the Unity Fellowship Church Movement (UFCM) in 2002.
