Fort Worth, Texas

Welcome to Westside UU Church!

We are a church where you are free to pursue your own spiritual path in an atmosphere of warmth and acceptance.

In our community, what you believe is less important than how your beliefs guide your interactions with others and the world.

We also strive to create a place where children can develop their ethics and principles without prescribed dogma.

February Loose Plate Offering

Westside’s plate offering for February is Texas Gun Sense, https://txgunsense.org/  Texas Gun Sense’ mission is to prevent gun violence and other gun tragedies in Texas through education, partnerships, and policy change,while protecting the rights of responsible gun owners.

In 2007, Students for Gun-Free Schools in Texas was founded by survivors of the Virginia Tech shooting along with supporters who wanted safer school campuses. As the network grew, so did the mission. In 2013, Texas Gun Sense launched, working to make Texas safer for everyone. In 2015, the Texas Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence brought partners together from across the state, such as Texas Impact, The League of Women Voters, and March for Our Lives. This coalition was able to secure funds from Texas’s portion of the American Rescue Plan to invest in community driven gun safety initiatives. Violence Intervention & Prevention, VIP Fort Worth was one of those groups.

As it has since its inception, Texas Gun Sense has advocated for safe gun laws in the Texas legislature. This past session, it tracked hundreds of gun-related bills and amplified voices often ignored—survivors, youth, and healthcare professionals. It blocked several dangerous bills and meaningfully advanced the conversation on gun policy. Still, lawmakers once again rejected common sense measures like safe storage and raising the age to buy semi-automatic rifles.

Texas Gun Sense knows that Texans can’t wait on the legislature to act. It created a Safe Storage Toolkit to equip you with the knowledge to store firearms securely and be an advocate for safe gun storage. You can access this resource here, https://txgunsense.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Safe-Storage-Toolkit.pdf Take action here to continue funding for VIP Fort Worth, https://bit.ly/4pYRz7d  And please give generously as you are able to this vital organization. Thank you!

Give online through the church’s giving page or by using the Vanco Mobile App. Select the “Service Project” fund. You can also mail a check to the church (901 Page; Fort Worth, TX; 76110). Thank you for your contribution!
