Representing congregations in the Midwest and upper South, the Heartland District uses its resources to promote and develop strong, growing congregations that interact with other UU congregations, their communities, the District, and the UUA.
The Heartland District was formed in 2000 from a merger of the Unitarian Universalist District of Michigan (UUDOM) and the Ohio Valley Unitarian Universalist District (OVUUD). The Heartland District, one of 20 Unitarian Universalist districts in the nation, serves 8,099 members and 53 congregations in the states of Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, and Ohio.
Our vision is of Heartland District cultivating a beloved identity of strong connections among congregations, the District, and the larger Unitarian Universalist movement. Heartland District provides its staff and volunteers the opportunity to deepen their faith while doing District work. In our vision, Unitarian Universalism's vitality improves the quality of spiritual and religious life in the Heartland District.
