Wildflower Unitarian Universalist Church

1314 E Oltorf St, Austin, TX 78704 | Sundays @ 11:45am

Growing spiritually together, spreading love, justice, and joy!

Wildflower Church is a deliberately inclusive, lay-led, open-minded religious community in the Unitarian Universalist tradition,
growing spiritually together, spreading love, justice, and joy!
We create our community by covenanting one to another, using our Covenant for Beloved Community. We meet in South Austin, at the campus we share with Faith Presbyterian.

Wildflower Covenant for Beloved Community

The spirit in me welcomes the spirit in you, in all our wholeness and imperfection.
We celebrate our connections and our differences.
We actively seek to create equity as we build relationships with one another.
We care for one another and for ourselves.
We listen to others with respect and open hearts, intending to understand.
We speak to others with respect and kindness, intending to be understood.
We make every effort to settle differences directly and openly.
This beloved community is our spiritual home: we all share our gifts to build it.
We commit to be in covenant and to be called back into covenant.

What is Unitarian Universalism?

Unitarian Universalism’s (UU) faith tradition is diverse and inclusive. We emerged from the union of two radical Christian groups: the Universalists, who organized in 1793, and the Unitarians, who organized in 1825; they joined to become the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) in 1961. Across the globe, the UU legacy reaches back centuries to liberal religious pioneers in England, Poland, and Transylvania. We are people of all ages, people of many backgrounds, and people of many beliefs. We are brave, curious and compassionate thinkers and doers. We create spirituality and community beyond boundaries, working for more justice and more love in our own lives and in the world.

Unitarian Universalism draws from our heritages of freedom, reason, hope, and courage, building on the foundation of love. We covenant, congregation-to-congregation and through our Association, to support and assist one another in our ministries.

Love is the power that holds us together and is at the center of our shared values. The values we share include all the following, which we hold as inseparable and deeply interconnected:

Interdependence: We honor the interdependent web of all existence and acknowledge our place in it.

Pluralism: We are all sacred beings, diverse in culture, experience, and theology.

Justice: We work to be diverse multicultural Beloved Communities where all feel welcome and can thrive.

Transformation: We adapt to the changing world.

Generosity: We cultivate a spirit of gratitude and hope.

Equity: We declare that every person is inherently worthy and has the right to flourish with dignity, love, and compassion.

Wildflower Church is part of the UUA, which helps support more than 1,000 member congregations in the United States of America. Each UU congregation is autonomous—congregational leaders set their own priorities and choose their own ministers and staff. The UUA’s member congregations are all committed to inseparable and deeply interdependent shared values of interdependence, transformation, generosity, pluralism, justice, and equity—all centered around love.

Living into Our Shared Values: Transformation

August 17, 2025

During this worship service, we reflect on our UU shared value of Transformation, which means that we adapt to the changing world.


Each week, from June 1st through August 31st, the theme of our stories and music-filled services will reflect one of our UU Shared Values: Interdependence, Pluralism, Justice, Transformation, Generosity, Equity, with Love at the center of them all. Our summer services have a noticeably different intergenerational feel, with moments for journaling and self-reflection, inspired by and guided by our Time for All Ages story and special music meant to deepen our connection with the shared value of the day. (TFAA and music are our summer sermons.).


Our Opening Song for the month of August is Put a Little Love in Your Heart by Jackie DeShannon, Jimmy Holiday, and Randy Myers. Our summer-long Closing Hymn is #1008 When Our Heart is in a Holy Place by Joyce Poley.


Children and youth in kindergarten through 12th grade will be meeting in person in their classes after being present in the sanctuary for the first part of the service. The nursery is available for babies and children from 6 weeks to 5 years old during the entire service period. You may choose either option for your child if they are 5 years old.

Masks are optional in the sanctuary.
