Horizon Unitarian Universalist Church

ABOUT HORIZON’S HISTORY: In 1985, the Metroplex area was expanding dramatically toward Lewisville and other cities north of Dallas. That year, the Rev. John Buehrens of First Unitarian Church of Dallas urged the creation of a UU congregation in Northwest Dallas County because of the area’s growth. Martha Robinson had just finished a term as president of First Church, and she agreed to spearhead the effort. In September of 1986, 15 people from First Church and Dallas North (Plano area) gathered for their first regular meeting. They began meeting in a small shopping center in Farmers Branch. The church expanded three times before purchasing six acres of land and erecting its permanent location in 1995 at 1641 W. Hebron Parkway. In 2010, Horizon completed a complete remodel and expansion to the building that included the creation of a Meditation Garden, expanded classrooms, a new vestibule, and a fellowship hall.
