Welcome!

Wouldn't it be great if there were a church that truly welcomes all people regardless of religious background, age, race or sexual orientation?

Wouldn't it be great if there were a church that is grounded in a long and amazing history yet embraces current forms of inspiration and the cultivation of soul?

Wouldn't it be great if there were a church that refuses to concede the Bible to mean-spirited and literal-minded interpretations and instead holds up the clarion calls for compassion and justice we hear in the scriptures?

Wouldn't it be great if there were a church that encourages people to bring their whole selves to a service on Sundays and not simply check their brains at the door?

Wouldn't it be great, if there were a church with a long history of working for social change that actually speaks to the major issues of the day?

Well, there is a church like this… and we invite you to come check out our services and programs.

Welcome to the First Church in Salem, Unitarian.

The Rev. Jeff Barz-Snell, Minister

 

The First Church in Salem, Unitarian is one of the oldest continuing Protestant churches in North America and the first to be governed by congregational polity, a central feature of Unitarian Universalism. We are proud of our history and excited by our present.


A member church of the Unitarian Universalist Association
