The History of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Oxford


PictureThe original informal group affiliated with the UUA in April 1997.
In 1993, an informal meditation group started meeting in Oxford, Mississippi. It was this group of people that was the genesis of a new church in Oxford: The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Oxford (UUCO). A number of families joined in, and for several years the congregation held services in the University of Mississippi Student Union. In April of 1997, this informal group affiliated with the national Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations and the 
Mid-South District of the UUA.

In 2001, UUCO purchased land and an old church building at 31 County Road 198. After extensive renovations, the Congregation began holding services at UU Hall in the fall of 2003. At present, the Congregation has over 90 members and many friends.

Members of UUCO are a diverse group, bonded by our belief in religious tolerance, our quest for spiritual growth, and our desire to work for a better world. We strive to provide a warm, open and accepting community that provides intellectual stimulation and emotional support for our members and friends.
