Only UU Church in this Area
Our congregation is uniquely positioned on the border of Texas and Oklahoma, drawing members from both states. While our closest Unitarian Universalist neighbors are in Plano, Texas (50 miles south) and Norman, Oklahoma (145 miles north), we serve as a vital, independent hub for UU values in our region. We are actively seeking a minister to partner with us as we grow into a vibrant, and thriving beloved community.
A Region on the Rise
The Texoma area is experiencing an unprecedented economic and population boom. Driven by a massive influx of high-tech industries, the region is rapidly expanding; the Denison Development Alliance reports an impressive $35 billion in tech-sector investments currently moving into the area. To learn more about this exciting growth, we encourage you to explore the Denison Development Alliance and the Sherman Economic Development Corporation (SEDCO) websites.
This economic surge is reshaping our local demographics. We are welcoming an influx of residents moving from varied regions of the country, many of whom bring established UU backgrounds. We are already seeing this trend reflected in our Sunday morning attendance and are excited about the potential for continued growth. Furthermore, we are deeply proud of our robust outreach to the LGBTQAI+ community, an effort that has infused our congregation with wonderful new energy and deeply engaged members.
