Vision

A world transformed by the indwelling of God’s Spirit.

Practice

First Parish Church is open to everyone and welcomes participation in the full life, leadership, and ministry of the Church. We are a diverse congregation. We welcome persons of any race, gender, ethnic origin, mental or physical ability, religious tradition, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, and economic circumstances. We affirm that the love of Christ for each person knows no bounds.

We are a congregation where religious questions are not only welcomed but encouraged. We are increasingly learning how to have holy conversations even when we disagree. We value the ways we learn from the gifts of the Spirit shared by one another across generations and from varying life experiences.
