Welcome to First Unitarian Church of Dallas

We invite you to bring your whole self: your full identity, your questioning mind, and your expansive heart.

First Church has been a liberal religious presence in Dallas since 1899.

We are doing the soulful work of reaching deeper, individually and together, in order to grow and better engage within our community and beyond, and to play an active role in being the way a better world is made possible for all.

Our worship, the warmth of our community, our programs, our music, our focus on children and youth, and our work in the world make First Church a very special place. We can’t wait to welcome you.

Exploring how our church’s roots and history can serve as a beacon of hope in challenging times 
Our Unitarian Universalist faith is a beacon of hope for people seeking a religion free from “old dogmas, doctrines, and creeds.” On May 12, 1899, Mr. Daniel Limbaugh gave a talk on the Unitarian religion at Temple Emanu-El where he described such seekers as being “at sea without a chart or compass.” This sermon led to the founding of the First Unitarian Church of Dallas. In this series, we will take a closer look at Limbaugh’s pivotal message and explore how Unitarian Universalism can serve as our chart and compass in modern times.
