Welcome to
First Unitarian
Universalist Church
Our mission is to be a welcoming, compassionate community that nurtures spiritual growth and practices justice.
This is a congregation and a tradition of open minds and loving hearts. We are a church built on long histories of spiritual openness, inclusive welcome, and practicing justice.
Immigration Justice
First UU Church believes all people are sacred, and immigrants make our communities better. We join our partners in advocating for humane policies, due process, and paths to citizenship, while actively opposing discriminatory practices, family separation, and detention. We are called to love our neighbors: that means everyone.

Building Our Future
Beginning in 2018, our church began a process to imagine the future of our building and grounds. Currently, we are in the planning phase of building our new building on 38 acres across from Century High School. Help us build a future to support our mission of being a welcoming, compassionate community that nurtures spirituality and practices justice.
