Christian Universalism

The faith that God is love, and will finally restore the whole human family to holiness and happiness.

Free Universalist gathers the statements of faith, the history and the books of the Universalist strain of Christianity, from its early church roots through the Universalist Church of America, adds new resources for its worship today, and makes them all free to read.

What we believe

We put our faith in the one God, whose nature is Love, who will finally restore the whole human family to holiness and happiness, a view summarised in the Winchester Profession of 1803
