Members of the Unitarian Universalist religion as well as many visitors may describe their belief systems in different ways. Some call themselves religious, others use the word spiritual, and some refer to values or principles. Wherever you are on this spectrum, you are welcome!

Tapestry UU Church of Houston welcomes you to explore whether you may grow into your truest self on the pathway of Unitarian Universalist principles and values! If you decide you want to just be friends, that is fine as well! A great way to dive in is to attend our Corner Forum discussion after the service on Sunday. 

Here are some ways that members and friends can live out their values in support of their own growth and that of our community.
