Tapestry UU Church of Houston’s History as a Welcoming Congregation Although Tapestry UU Church came into being in 2019, it was initially founded in 1995 as Northwest Community UU Church, and we have long been proud of our congregation’s welcoming attitude to newcomers of all stripes and persuasions. In 2007, NWCUUC undertook and qualified for UUA Certification as a Welcoming Congregation. In 2020, we decided that Tapestry should also undergo the process of formal certification. Our goal is to ensure that all our church’s members fully appreciate and live into the requirements of Welcoming Certification and for our church to become formally certified as a Welcoming Congregation in 2021.
