Welcome to Outlaw’s Bridge Universalist Church, a voice for Liberal Religion in Wayne, Duplin and surrounding counties.
Every Sunday of the year we welcome people of all races, ethnicities, sexual
orientations, gender identities, abilities, political persuasions and economic classes
to join us here as we transform lives through compassion, service and
fellowship.
Since 1905, we have stood at the corner of NC Highway 111 and Outlaw’s Bridge Road in northern Duplin county, providing a place of liberal worship for all those people who don’t want to be told what to believe, but who want to find their own path to that which we call God.
We hope you will find within these pages, something that interests you, intrigues you or makes you want to come visit us. You will be welcomed with friendly smiles, warm hearts and open arms.
Our mission is to welcome all to grow with us in love, spirit, and wisdom - enriching lives through compassion, service, and fellowship.
We are a rural liberal church:
• Encouraging freedom of thought and a fearless search for God
• Emphasizing the goodness of all people
• Inspiring us to do right out of love
Godly proportions when reciprocal love
exists between the entire human race
and each of its individual members.
That love must be based upon
mutual respect for the differences
in color, language, and worship,
even as we appreciate and accept
with gratitude the differences that
tend to unite the male and female
of all species. We do not find those
differences obstacles to love. . .
~Dr. George de Benneville
(1703-1793)
Universalists believe that all of us are
going to end up together in heaven,
so we might as well learn how to
get along with each other now.
~Rev. Dr. Gordon McKeeman
