Families are an important part of the community at First Unitarian Church of Dallas. We offer a variety of opportunities for families to grow in their faith together.
Worship
Attend the 9:30am service as a family. When worshiping together, children learn they are part of a larger, supportive church community.
Plan your visit here.
Families can sign up to light the chalice together in worship.

Lead by example. Teaching Sunday School is not only fun but an expression of your family’s commitment to our larger UU community.

Participating in Adult Ministries classes deepens your faith and demonstrates your dedication to lifelong spiritual development.

Dedications of Infants & Children
This ritual celebrates families, welcomes infants and children of all ages to our church community, and affirms the commitment of families and the congregation to the spiritual growth and development of each child.
We conduct ceremonies of dedication twice each year – on the Sunday preceding Christmas, and on Mother’s Day.
For more information or to participate in the next ceremony, email Rev. Beth Dana.
Libraries
Our church has two libraries with thousands of resources for exploring our Unitarian Universalism faith, spirituality, and family/life issues (plus just all-around good books for children and families!)
The Tom and Charley Crow Library is located on the second floor overlooking Channing Social Hall and the Children’s Library is located on the second floor of Hallman.
