Our Mission
The mission of First UU is to co-create the Beloved Community within ourselves, among our congregation, and throughout San Antonio.
Our Ends
To fulfill our mission, we will:
1. Welcome all people of good will, as they are and as they are becoming, as we connect at depth across difference.
2. Care for one another in times of joy, sorrow, and transition.
3. Equip ourselves, across the lifespan, to articulate our faith identity and live a spirited life of integrity in a search for truth and meaning, as informed by Unitarian Universalist faith practices and values.
4. Accountably dismantle systems of racism and oppression in ourselves, our church, and greater San Antonio. In particular, we work for:
a. Racial justice/antiracism
b. LGBTQ+ justice
c. Reproductive justice
