Wildflower Church is a deliberately inclusive, 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 of Right Relations. We meet in South Austin, at our shared campus.
Sunday Worship
Join us this Sunday at 11:30am in the Sanctuary at our shared campus. Extra parking is available across Oltorf at Travis High School.
First Annual Dance Sabbath
July 30, 2017
Kenn Wells and Preston Patterson
With the presence and inspiration of both active and retired professional dancers within the Wildflower Community as well as guest dancers, this innovative service draws on the talents of Wildflower dancers Kenn Wells and Preston Patterson and guest Daniel Llanes, but also involves the congregation as well in expressive movement – all supported by musical classics, the Wildflower Music Team, and the exciting rhythms of The Drumsistas.
Serenity Service
Join us for an interfaith service of music, readings, candles, and silence every third Friday of the month at 7:00pm in the Sanctuary on our shared campus.

Specially-Called Congregational Meeting
We will have a congregational meeting at 1:30 this Sunday, July 23rd in the Community Room. We will discuss and vote on whether Wildflower should contribute one-third of the cost of the parking lot renovations. Faith Presbyterian is currently in the process of obtaining bids and wants to complete the project before school starts. Please attend this important meeting to join the discussion. Childcare will be provided. For more information, contact the Board.
What's Unitarian Universalism all About?
Are you shopping for a church home that doesn’t require commitment to any specific metaphysical beliefs? Unitarian Universalism is a non-credal religion that draws wisdom from many religions, literature, art, and science, and interprets it through a concrete set of principles. We believe in Standing on the Side of Love for all the world’s people. You can explore the covenant, mission, values, and vision of Wildflower online.
Neighborhood Walk
Join in the Neighborhood Walk, Saturday, July 29, 9 am – 12 noon sponsored by the Armadillo Park Neighborhood Association (APNA) and supported by Go Austin, Vamos Austin (GAVA), and Wildflower Church. Walk in the neighborhood to meet residents and learn about their needs and concerns. Sign up to walk at our table in the Community Room or email BBC@wildflowerchurch.org.
Children and Youth Programs
Our children’s religious education program serves babies and children through 18 years. We provide childcare every Sunday from 9:30 am to 1 pm for children 1-4 years of age. Children age 4 and above may begin in the Pre-K class when they are developmentally ready. Grades 2-5 attend class together, and youth from 6th-12 grades. Currently, infants remain with their parents. Childcare is available for all ages from 9:30-11:30 am and during Sunday afternoon meetings when requested.
