Welcome to Red River Unitarian Universalist Church of Denison Texas

We Invite You To Bring Your Whole Self:
Your Full Identity, Your Questioning Mind,
And Your Expansive Heart.

Red River UU Church has been a liberal religious presence in Denison since 1997. 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 commitment to our community, and our outreach programs make Red River UU Church a very special place. We can’t wait to welcome you.

What Is Unitarian Universalism

Unitarian Universalism is a liberal religion with no single creed, centered on a commitment to the “free and responsible search for truth and meaning” and the inherent worth and dignity of every person. It draws from many religious traditions, including Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, and humanism, and its members hold diverse beliefs about a higher power, ranging from theism to atheism.
