Welcome to First Unitarian

Welcome to a Beloved Community

Newcomers to our church are seeking an open and inclusive spiritual home, a place for fellowship and community, an opportunity to serve the wider community, and a Sunday school where children develop their inner spiritual beings, learn to explore and respect the diverse paths of the world's religions, and extend the blessings of their lives to the world around them.

Here you will find a place where you will be welcomed and included regardless of your age, gender, affectional orientation, ethnicity, or family status. We're glad you found us!

Feel free to park in our lot or across the street in the Central Reform Congregation parking lot. Street parking is also available on Waterman and Kingshighway on Sunday morning.

Come On In!

Once you walk through our front doors on Waterman, you'll be greeted by a Member and offered a newcomer name tag. If you'd like to receive our newsletter to see the many church activities and events happening in the coming weeks, simply fill out the card that will be in your order of service. 

Religious Education for Children

First Unitarian offers Religious Education programming for children in grades Pre-K through High School.

Children usually begin their morning's in the worship service with their families.  They then go to their classrooms following the services Connection Moment. If your children would rather stay with you in the worship service, that's okay too!

Sunday Worship

Our Sunday services are about an hour in length, and include readings from a wide array of sources, wonderful music from our adult choir and guest musicians, and thoughtful sermons by our minister, Rev. Kim Mason.

After the Worship Service

Following the service, please join us in our Fellowship Hall for coffee, donuts, and friendly socializing.

Newcomer Chat

Once a month, we offer an informal program for newcomers. This orientation touches on Unitarian Universalist history and theology, and how involvement in this community might enrich your own personal or spiritual journey. Watch for the next scheduled Newcomer Chat in the weekly Enews or in the Church Calendar.

Membership

We would love for you to become a part of this community. There are many ways, big and small, for Friends and Members of First Church to become involved in the life of the church and the surrounding community. 

Becoming a Member of the church is a personal decision that deepens your bond between you and the other Members of the congregation.

The procedure itself is easy: You simply sign your name in the Church Membership book in the presence of a minister or an officer of the Board of Trustees. Your're not require you to swear to any oaths or creeds. However, it is not to be done lightly, since becoming a Member signifies your willingness to commit a measure of your time, talents, and financial resources to the life of First Church.  Membership classes are held several times a year.
