Northwest Community Unitarian Universalist Church has been serving the Northwest Houston, Cypress and Katy communities since early 1995 and has been a haven for free thinkers ever since. Our congregation is a member of the Houston Unitarian Universalist network, the Southwest Unitarian Universalist Conference and is proud to be a member of the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations.
Northwest Community UU is designated a Welcoming Congregation by the UUA, which underscores its commitment to providing a sanctuary where all are welcomed, embraced and shown dignity and respect.

We UUs often say that deeds are more important than creeds. The Faith in Action Team is a committee of our church that seeks to facilitate social action in accord with our Faith, our hopes, and the seven ethical Principles that we hold in common:
1. The inherent worth and dignity of every person;
2. Justice, equity and compassion in human relations;
3. Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations;
4. A free and responsible search for truth and meaning;
5. The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large;
6. The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all;
7. Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.
