Welcome

We are the first Universalist congregation in the United States, looking forward to a future that is focused on being just and faithful stewards of both the natural world and the community in which we live.

Who We Are

We believe in the inherent worth and dignity of all people, and we support  justice, equity, and compassion for all

Sunday Worship

We gather weekly, using a multi-platform, hybrid approach to worshipping together. You may choose to join us in our large sanctuary, or, join us on line every Sunday at 10:00 a.m.

Upcoming Services

The Forgotten Longfellow

Rev. Norman Allen visits us from First Parish in Portland, ME, to share the transcendent wisdom of Rev. Samuel Longfellow - Henry Wadsworth's gay little brother. It was said of him, “he was good enough to be a saint and interesting enough to be a sinner.” Join us to learn more about Rev. Sam, his 40-year relationship with Rev. Samuel Johnson of Salem, and what we might learn from them in our own tumultuous times. Music by Steve Lacey.

Our service is in-person, or at the livestream link below. Everyone is welcome!
