About Us:

We are a Liberal Christian congregation who espouse the values of freedom, reason and tolerance. We do not ask what you believe, or expect you to think the way we do, but only that you try to live a kindly, helpful life, with the dignity proper to a human being. Preachers here have the task of presenting religion freely, fearlessly, and faithfully. Hearers have the responsibility of testing what they hear, not only with the critical mind, but also in the living of everyday life. Members of this Congregation welcome the support of all who believe that religion is wider than any sect and deeper than any set of opinions.

History:

Gathered by the Puritans of Massachusetts Bay Colony in August of 1629, this is one of the oldest Protestant churches founded in North America and the first to be

governed by congregational polity. During its long history the theological position of the Church has changed, most significantly in the early 1800‘s when Unitarianism

was embraced. Today, we remain a self-governing congregation that follows its own by-laws and democratically elects its own officers. The First Church welcomes all who wish to share in our religious fellowship and spiritual quest regardless of color, creed or sexual orientation.

A member church of the Unitarian Universalist Association.
