For Union's Next 10 Years

It's hard to believe, but Union is celebrating it's 10 Year Anniversary this November! This place has deeply shaped and transformed me over the past 10 years, first meeting me as a jaded seminary student and ultimately helping restore my faith in the Church and deeply forming my life in the Wesleyan tradition--one that knows personal holiness is never separate from holiness and that God is present in all things. And most importantly--developing ALL the melodica skills.

Union is wholly unique in what we do and how we approach community. There is no other place like Union in the city of Dallas, existing solely for the wellbeing of our neighborhood, cultivating the divine spark that already exists within it.  It is the neighborhood that determines our values and our mission. It is the neighborhood that determines our programming. It is the neighborhood that names what it needs and invites Union to respond. 

Union is truly just that—a union. A union of so many different things for so many different people—never asking anything of anyone when they come through our door. And while most other organizations shy away from being all things to all people, perhaps for fear of being spread too thin, Union knows that that is our sweet spot.
