 THE AUBURN U.U. FELLOWSHIP was formed in 1961 with 22 charter members. After meeting in various places, such as the Presbyterian Church and the armory, the fellowship acquired a house on Cox St. in 1964. Soon after that the fellowship assisted in the establishment of an Auburn “Headstart†program by renting it the fellowship building. Members of the fellowship were active in civil rights and other important social issues, and have been involved in various community organizations.
In 1981 the Fellowship purchased the former Ebenezer Baptist Church, a restored historic building, from the Auburn Historical Association. The church was built by freed slaves from hand-hewn lumber around 1870. Sunday services now take place in this building, while the house behind is used for religious education classes. The minister's office, library, and additional meeting rooms are located in the Busch Center at 504 Auburn Drive.
