The Mission and Vision of the UUCOC

Oak Cliff, December 2011.
After a year of this congregation’s input we have a Mission/Vision statement that reflects who we are. It took two facilitated congregational workshops (Dec. 11, 2010 and March 26, 2011) that were well attended, and a Board retreat to sort through the pages of comments and ideas that bubbled up out of those workshops. We delved deep into ourselves and examined what fulfillment means within the context of being UUs and members of UUCOC. Here is the final result:

"We, the Unitarian Universalist Church of Oak Cliff, facilitate individual spiritual growth and manifest our shared values through action with the greater community."

Vision Statement:


• Exploring Spirit with Joy: We celebrate our spirituality through teaching, learning, laughter, song, dance, and love.


• Reinventing Community: We expand community by sharing our gifts of energy, time, food, talent and wealth.


• Inspiring Justice & Responsibility: We champion civil, economic and environmental justice in our community and the world.


• Empowering Through Love to Transform Lives: We challenge ourselves to extend our loving community beyond the bounds of our congregation by affirming fair and responsible treatment of every living thing.

The Unitarian Universalist Church of Oak Cliff affirms and promotes the full participation of all persons in our activities and endeavors, including membership, programming, hiring, and the calling of religious professionals, without regard to race, color, gender, physical or mental challenge, sexual orientation, age, class, or national origin.
