Have other people's ideas about religion kept you from coming to church? Do you yearn for a loving, spiritual community where you can be inspired and encouraged as you search for your own truth and meaning? Find a home in the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Lubbock.
We are a church without creed or dogma where people with different beliefs worship together as one faith. The church has a rich history, with followers who were among our founding fathers such as John Adams, as well as leading literary figures such as Henry David Thoreau and social activists such as Susan B. Anthony. We welcome all persons regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or religious beliefs.
We are a welcoming congregation.
