Becoming a member

Unitarian Universalist churches operate under a form of governance called Congregational Polity. Basically, Congregational Polity means that the congregation runs the church. We plan our own programs, and generally make major decisions as a congregation.

We welcome you to join our beloved community. We hope you have found your spiritual home here and you will choose to become a member and journey with us.

Becoming a member of First Parish means that you are committed to the principles, values and life attitudes that Unitarian Universalism embraces. It is a public declaration that you stand with a group of people who have a liberal religious view. It is a commitment to support and encourage one’s own and others’ efforts to grow spiritually and to support the congregation’s mission and vision in the wider world.
