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

  • Let the Body Speak: On the Embodied Wisdom of Queerness
    Let the Body Speak: On the Embodied Wisdom of Queerness
    Sunday, Jun 28 @ 10:30 AM

    Let the Body Speak: On the Embodied Wisdom of Queerness 
    with Lex Vriend

    What do you know “in your gut”? Or, perhaps more perplexingly, how do you know “in your gut”? From where do you come to understand yourself? In a society which teaches us to distrust, override, and beat our bodies into submission, it makes sense that those of us who allow our embodied feelings to guide our self-understanding would be threatening to the status quo. Yet, queer bodies do just that. Our bodies know things that are not always culturally acceptable to know – and some of us listen. That takes guts. What a thing to celebrate, what a thing to inspire pride, that we have the potential to be a people of embodied wisdom in an empire that would have us dissociate. 

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.

June Loose Plate Offering

North Texas Transporation Network

Westside’s plate offering for June is the North Texas TRANSportation Network (NTTN), https://www.northtexastransportationnetwork.org/. The North Texas TRANSportation Network provides travel and relocation grants to North Texas families seeking out-of-state healthcare for trans and gender-expansive youth. On it’s website, NTTN states that, “by road or air – either way; it’s expensive to get out of Texas! Yet, since its inception in 2023, NTTN has helped more than 50 families with travel and/or relocation grants while also supporting impacted youth and families seeking safety, affirming care, and community. In 2025, NTTN added 18 year olds to those who qualify for aid. And, it expanded the area of Texas that it covers. Originally covering North Central Texas counties, it now expands east and west covering all of the north part of Texas!

A North Texas TRANSportation 2025 grant recipient wrote, “We can’t even book airfare without this help, and we are so appreciative of this organization. It all feels isolating right now, and it’s nice to know that groups like this exist. My 15-year-old has so much faith in me that we can make this happen, and this grant alleviates his worries about it. So, thank you from the bottom of my Mother heart!”

Because of Texas’s current majority leadership, it continues to be a place ripe for creating hateful, harmful laws. Texas Impact, our TX UU Justice Ministry partner, writes that in March, a White House staff member met with Texas Republican legislators. He challenged them to pass even more aggressive legislation in 2027, such as forcing mandatory disclosures of transgender Texans employment and medical records.

Thankfully, North Texas TRANSportation Network provides a way forward even as it too fights for Trans rights alongside all of us. Please give generously as you can to this crucial and lifesaving organization!

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!
