What is Unitarian Universalism?

Unitarian Universalism affirms the individual conscience in matters of faith and values deeds over creeds. We embrace reason, tolerance, and the shared journey toward truth. Our congregation welcomes people regardless of race, ethnicity, ability, gender identity, or sexual orientation.

Our History and Community Impact

Founded in 1968 by members from All Souls Unitarian Church, Hope has grown into a cornerstone of Tulsa’s liberal religious community. Our architecturally distinctive building blends naturally with the hilltop landscape, creating a sacred space for worship and gathering.

Over the decades, Hope Unitarian Church Tulsa has served the community through jail ministry, preschool education, environmental initiatives including UUA Green Sanctuary certification, and ongoing outreach like monthly meals for the Tulsa Day Center.

Our Symbol: The Flaming Chalice

The flaming chalice, lit at the start of every service, symbolizes religious freedom, hope, and community—the heart of Unitarian Universalism.
