Welcome!

It's great to have you here. First Parish is a Unitarian Universalist church, located on the Battle Green in Lexington, Massachusetts. Here's something we say together every Sunday to remind us of what we're all about:

Love is the doctrine of this church.
The quest for truth is its sacrament,
And service is its prayer.
This is our great covenant:
To dwell together in peace,
To seek the truth in love.
And to help one another,
To the end that all souls shall grow
Into harmony with the divine.

Our worship, the warmth of our community, our programs, our music, our focus on children and youth, and our work in the world make First Parish a very special place. We hope you'll come see us. Here's some good information for first time visitors.
