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.

    The Good News of Unitarian Universalism

    The Good News of Unitarian Universalism
    with Tanner Trask, Minister in Training

    Does this sound familiar? “If I had heard of Unitarian Universalism 20 years ago, my whole life would have been different!” So let’s spread the Good News of Unitarian Universalism! But first, we’ll need to figure out what our Good News even is.

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.

March Loose Plate Offering

Westside’s plate offering for March is the Human Rights Initiative of North Texas, https://hrionline.org/about/. HRI North Texas provides legal services to refugees and immigrants seeking asylum, to victims of trafficking, to immigrant child victims of abuse, and for relief under the Violence Against Women Act.

HRI’s legal team partners with pro bono attorneys to help clients access the complicated immigration system, and its Social Services team offers transitional support and referrals to help address trauma and ease the hardships of profound displacement. At HRI, all services are free, and all are designed to help forge a path to safety, stability, and opportunity.

HRI writes on its website: “Amidst these turbulent times, the mission of HRI stands firm. Everyday, we rededicate ourselves to providing vital legal services to asylum seekers, crime victims, and unaccompanied children. Our commitment goes beyond advocacy—we walk beside our clients through every stage of the often years‑long immigration process.”

Cindy Fountain spoke with the interim director, Ana Galindo, and Ana sent this message from one of their clients: “I want to express, with all my heart, my deepest gratitude for the support, guidance, and unwavering presence you offered me during one of the most important and difficult journeys of my life. …  Thanks to your dedication, your tireless work, and your extraordinary efforts, I can now say with pride and excitement that I have obtained my residency in the United States. … Beyond the legal support, HRI restored my hope, my sense of safety, and my faith that it is indeed possible to move forward …”With love and gratitude, Alejandra C.”

“Human rights belong to all of us.They’re the universal freedoms and protections that uphold dignity, equality, and justice, no matter who we are or where we come from.” Please give generously as you can. 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!
