First Parish in Concord UU

We are an active community of over 1,200 adults and children, seeking to deepen spiritually and to find ways to make a positive difference in this world. We invite your participation with us. We welcome all people to our faith community without discrimination on the basis of race, gender, age, color, national origin, ethnic background, socioeconomic status, marital status, disability, sexual orientation or gender identity. Grounded in our Unitarian Universalist principles and purposes, we affirm the inherent worth and dignity of every person.

Worship is at the heart of who we are as a community. We gather each Sunday at 9 and 11 am. Children are welcome to come with their parents and share in the first 15 minutes of worship before going to their religious education classes. Our worship is our time to pause, reflect on our lives and on wisdom from the world's religious traditions. Wonderful music and preaching, silence and prayer, a children's story are all a part of worship. We invite you to join us.
