The Mission of Westside Unitarian Universalist Church is to make a positive difference in the lives of our members, our families, and the world at large through supportive relationships, religious explorations, and social action. 

The church’s Vision is to grow and become a more influential liberal religious presence through active [service] in our community and the world at large. 

Members of our congregation are active in the greater Fort Worth community.  The charge of the Social Justice Committee is to seek ways that the congregation, as a whole, can impact the community through social action and direct service to further the mission and vision of Westside Unitarian Universalist Church.  We envision the Social Justice Committee as the focal point for congregational action and service under the direction of the church board. The goal of the committee is to be effective and action oriented.  The Unitarian Universalist Church has a number of Statements of Social Conscience (positions) and two Study Action Issues (Prison Reform and Global Warming) to help frame committee activities. 

Two topics that we have studied to date are civil liberties and factors in global warming. The link to our Position paper on civil liberties in regards the Patriot Act is Civil Liberties.
