Westside Unitarian Universalist

a welcoming community in
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.

Upcoming Reflection

  • The Demonization of Higher Education
    The Demonization of Higher Education
    Sunday, Aug 9 @ 10:30 AM

    The Demonization of Higher Education
    with Reverend Russell Elleven, DMin

    Westsiders have likely seen the headlines and read the articles of current attacks on higher ed. This may seem like a new assault but this has actually been going on, at varying levels, for decades. Russell will do his best to explain this Sunday morning.

Westside UU is a young and thriving church located just south of downtown Fort Worth on 901 Page Avenue, 76110. We are united by a covenant of care, mutual respect, and the freedom to independently search for truth and meaning.

Be you theist, agnostic, humanist, or atheist, we strive to provide a full program of activities that will nourish your spirit and stimulate

Membership in our church is open to any person 18 years or older who is in sympathy with our purposes and programs and with the Eight Principles of Unitarian Universalism. It is specifically understood that membership is open to all qualified persons regardless of race, color, sex, disability, affectional or sexual orientation, gender, gender expression, age, or national origin.

August Loose Plate Offering

Samaritan House Supper Club

Westside’s plate offering for August is our own Samaritan House Supper Club Fund (https://samaritanhouse.org/). From Linda Ice who coordinates this monthly outreach, “One of the ways Westside UU fulfills our commitment to be a voice in the wider community is our 15+ years of participation in the Samaritan House Supper Club . Our commitment has been to provide dinner for the 30-40 residents of Samaritan House every third Thursday of the month.”
Westside volunteers bring a side dish – veggies, salads and dessert. We provide Lisa’s Chicken as the entrée with the Supper Club Fund.  And, that’s where you come in! Westsiders have been so generous during our asks in previous years that the fund had grown large enough to sustain us up until now.
So, we are asking for that loving generosity again to build up the fund to sustain us through the next year. Lisa’s has been an amazing partner and provides us with chicken and dinner rolls for less than $100 that feeds the Samaritan House residents and volunteers.
We have developed relationships with some of the longtime residents. The appreciation and gratitude from all the residents is very rewarding. This is a wonderful opportunity to be in community with people who aren’t typically in proximity to our daily lives.
Please give generously as you are able to help us continue this longtime connection to our Samaritan House neighbors. And, if you would like to volunteer, get with Linda Ice or Cindy Fountain for details. 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!
