About Arlington Unitarian Universalist Church
Arlington Unitarian Universalist Church is a Congregational, "Member-Led" church. We do not have a paid, professional ministerial staff. Instead, our church members are responsible for developing our church programs, events, study groups and church services. Our Sunday Morning 10 AM Presentation & Discussion and our 11 AM Homily are delivered by selected church members & invited guest speakers.

Our History
Arlington Unitarian Universalist Church was founded in the mid-1960s by a group of like minded thinkers who included University of Texas at Arlington professors, nurses, engineers and doctors, along with their families and friends.
Their goal was to build a local church where people could explore Faith, Religion, and Spiritual Growth & Development in an atmosphere of individual freedom and personal responsibility.
With those goals in mind, the congregation joined the newly created Unitarian Universalist Association.
