The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Waynesboro was established in 1955 as a place where people can practice liberal religion in the Shenandoah Valley. Unitarian Universalism is a creedless faith with roots in the radical Reformation within the Christian traditions. We hold that there is no single religious path, and each person has the right to pursue an individual quest for truth and meaning. We trust that it is the nature of our commitments and relationships, rather than the details of our personally held beliefs, that brings us together in a spiritual community.

The following vision and mission statements were adopted by the vote of the Fellowship in 2016 and 2017, respectively:
