“We Unitarian Universalists have inherited a magnificent theological legacy. In a sweeping answer to creeds that divide the human family, Unitarianism proclaims that we spring from a common source; Universalism, that we share a common destiny.”

        - Forrest Church

There are thirteen diverse and wonderful North Texas Unitarian Universalist congregations, all ready to extend a warm welcome to you as you visit and worship with them. Ranging in size from memberships of less than 50 to over 1,000, these congregations show that liberal religion is alive and well in the greater Dallas/Fort Worth area. You can use our Locator to view profiles of all of the congregations. These profiles includes location and contact information as well as links to the congregations' websites.

All of our member congregations are part of a UUA District called the Southwest Unitarian Universalist Conference. Visit the Southwest Conference website at swuuc.org to find helpful information about regional programs, services, and other congregations in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, most of Texas, and parts of Missouri,Tennessee, and Mexico.

How can I learn
about Unitarian Universalism?

There are many ways to learn more about our faith tradition and its historic roots. The very short history is that Unitarian Universalism emerged from two different religions: Unitarianism and Universalism. Both Unitarianism and Universalism started in Europe hundreds of years ago. The Universalist Church of America was founded by 1793, and the American Unitarian Association by 1825. In 1961, these denominations consolidated to form the new religion of Unitarian Universalism.

This video tells the story of our faith through powerful imagery and inspirational testimonials. In it, you'll see and hear Unitarian Universalist leaders and members share elements of our history, our theology, what it's like to worship with us, how we educate our children, and more. You'll also learn about our deep commitment to social justice and inclusiveness.
