At First Parish we strive to live into our 1717 covenant to “walk together” and “delight for love to abide in our midst.” We are committed to this covenant and hope that it will resonate with you as well. Whether you are a visitor, newcomer, or member there are many ways to connect here to live out this promise. 

Children & Youth

We offer exploration of our Unitarian Universalist traditions, which affirm the great spiritual truths of all religions. We seek to assist each child in nurturing a spiritual life, ethical awareness, Unitarian Universalist identity, and faith development.

Lifelong Learning

Our First Parish community embraces lifelong religious exploration as an opportunity to deepen connections, as we explore our values and beliefs at every age and stage of our lives.

Worship & Music

Worship and music are central to our community. No matter the season or belief, our worship is open to all spiritual seekers and willing participants in our community. Our goal is to create meaningful worship that challenges, affirms, enlightens, and uplifts those who gather here.
