Welcome to Outlaw’s Bridge Universalist Church,
a voice for Liberal Religion in Wayne, Duplin and surrounding counties.
For 106 years, 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
Quotations from The Buddha
from our January 22 Worship Service
Make of yourselves a light.
Work out your own salvation.
Do not depend on others.
And what, monks, is the Middle Way
realized by the Thus-Come-One,
which gives vision and understanding,
which leads to calm, penetration,
enlightment, to Nirvana?
It is just this Noble Eightfold Path, namely:
Right View, Right Intention,
Right Speech, Right Action,
Right Livelihood, Right Effort,
Right Mindfulness, and
Right Concentration.
