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.

    How to Heal
    with Tanner Trask, Minister in Training

    There is so much harm in the world, what can we do to heal ourselves, our communities, and our world?

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

First Sunday Loose Plate Offering

Westside Infrastructure Fund

For most of our history as a church, Westside has given 100% of our loose plate money to charities and other local organizations that share our values. We are a people of generosity, with love at the center, and this giving is an important part of our identity.

Beginning this church year, we are making a slight change to our loose plate offering. The Westside Board has decided that for the first Sunday of every month, it will go toward building maintenance projects here at Westside. The plate offerings for all other Sundays will continue to go toward local organizations and charities suggested by our Social Justice counsel.

Recently, we discovered some flooding in one of the HVAC closets due to drainage issues. This led to the discovery of two of the scariest words a church who owns their own building can hear – water damage. Our building and grounds committee have done what they can to prevent further damage, but to truly fix and abate this issue will take professionals.

The good news is that we discovered the damage when we did, and not when something worse happened. The board and building and grounds are coordinating on getting estimates. 

The bad news is that we know that this fix will not be cheap. Other maintenance issues also cannot be put on pause for long. If you know of any local businesses that you trust that do water abatement and damage repair, the email address for our building and grounds team is on the back of your order of service today, feel free to pass along any local recommendations to them.

Thank you for your generosity toward this building that has given us so much. 

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!
