We are an Open and Affirming, progressive congregation located in Dallas, TX. 
​
At Promise United Church of Christ, we know that inspiration opens hearts. An open heart is an open mind and an open mind is one that can practice tolerance, experience gratitude, and feel the glory of God. It is our belief that God is present in every human being.
 
We are dedicated to the service of God and all of God's people. Our goal is to provide a place of welcome, inspire an active spirit of mission, and create a safe space to wrestle with questions about our faith. We invite you to become a part of our growing congregation.​​
