Frequently Asked Questions

1.  When is your church service?

Our church service is on Sunday at 10 am, usually ending by 11 am.

2. What does your church believe?

Our church has no creed, but we do have seven principles which are enumerated on our home page. We have members and friends who have Catholic, Baptist, Methodist, Jewish, Atheist and Agnostic backgrounds who feel at home in our church.

3. What is the proper dress for a Sunday Service?

You will find casual and dressy casual in our church service. We believe in enjoying your presence, not imposing a dress code.

4. What happens when I come in the front door?

We have two buildings; our sanctuary and our annex. The sanctuary address is 960 Barnett, while the Palmer Annex is next door, at 964 Barnett. Upon entering the sanctuary, you will be greeted and welcomed, asked about how you heard about us, and be given an Order of Service.  We hope you will stay for coffee and refreshments after the service so we can get to know one another.

5. What are your services like?

We have music, announcements, readings and a sermon just like other churches.  Typical speakers are guest ministers, professionals in the community, and some lay-led services, and cover a broad range of topics.

6. Am I welcome if I am part of the LGBTQ+ community?

We believe in equal human rights for all, and you are welcome in our community. We are also supporters of the Hill Country Rainbow LGBTQ Community of Friends (formerly PFLAG).

7. I have had a crisis of faith. Am I welcome when I am having doubts?

Yes, you are welcome wherever you are on your spiritual journey.

8. Will I be contacted to come back after I have visited?

We will ask you to complete a Visitor Card so you will be added to our email list to receive a weekly update on Upcoming Sunday Services and Programs, as well as our monthly newsletter. You will be removed from this list upon request. We will not call on you in your home or make repeated attempts to obtain your membership in our church.

9. If I want to become a member, what is required?

We ask that you attend a new member orientation and sign a membership book when you are ready to become a member.  You will be asked to consider a pledge and/or donation based on your capabilities, and read the bylaws and operational directives of our church.

10. Does your church have a governing body?

We are associated with the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA); however, each of our churches is autonomous, and we have an elected Board of Directors. We operate with democratic principles, establishing our own bylaws and operational directives.
