The First Church in Belmont Unitarian Universalist welcomes people from all religious backgrounds, including those with no religious background, and incorporates other faiths and humanist values into our worship and activities. We welcome people who are married or single, straight or gay, with children or without.
For individuals who may feel uncertainty about the religion of their upbringing or for families who are blending two or more religious faiths, First Church is a particularly welcoming community. For those who feel something is missing in their day-to-day lives, but are unsure whether church is for them, we encourage you to visit us.
As a mid-sized church with over 400 members and friends, we are a faith community that strives to nurture one another spiritually through meaningful sermons, joyful music, non-judgmental social connections, and a shared commitment to justice, peace, and conscientious stewardship of our planet.
Come see for yourself if First Church is what you are looking for to enrich the lives of yourself and your family.

Our Symbol: The Flaming Chalice
A flame within a chalice is a primary symbol of the Unitarian Universalist faith tradition. We light a candle in the chalice as a symbol of hope, the sacred, the quest for truth, the warmth of community, the light of reason, and more.
