Welcome to the Unitarian Universalist 
Congregation of Oxford

We are a caring intergenerational community that celebrates diversity and fosters spiritual growth through free thought and discussion with respect for personal beliefs. We seek the wisdom of many religious traditions and of ourselves, and we encourage the expression of personal ideals in service to people, other life and our planet. Individuals and families of all size, shapes and ages will find a loving supportive community with the simple goal of becoming our best self through inner reflection and outward action. Join us for a service designed to engage both the heart and mind in the spirit of community and inquiry.

Services are held every Sunday at 11:00am.  We are located at 31 County Road 198 in Oxford, Mississippi (map).  We welcome children of all ages and provide childcare during the service. If you would like additional information, please feel free to contact us.
