"Our Mission is to build a diverse and transformative spiritual community, help people live lives of wholeness, and promote justice, peace, and religious freedom."
The First Unitarian Church is a member of the Unitarian Universalist
Association. We are a vibrant, growing, liberal religious
community located on the Northside of Youngstown. We work
to build a truly diverse and inclusive community and welcome
everyone to our service. We honor and celebrate our differences
in age, race, gender, ethnicity, class and sexual orientation. The Unitarian Universalist faith is one committed to religious
freedom, respect for diversity and our responsibility to building
a just world. We affirm the inherent worth of all people.
We encourage our members to actively develop and explore their
religious beliefs. We encourage a free and responsible search
for religious truth and look to the wisdom found in many religious
traditions as well contemporary experience to articulate our
faith. We believe in the values of justice, compassion and
peace and seek a world which lives these values. We understand
that ultimately we live in a larger web of interdependence
and that we are called to respect and protect the earth and
the web of existence of which we are part.
We invite you to attend one of our services or programs to
find out more about who we are and how we live our religious
values.
