Welcome to Second Parish

We are an independent church affiliated with the Unitarian Universalist Association that combines the traditional with the innovative in honoring many different expressions of faith. Our efforts to balance the needs of individuality and community in the context of spirituality and service keep us ever aware of a wide range of perspectives on the place of church in the 21st century.

We welcome our children to the first part of the weekly service, then they go to Sunday Adventures. There they engage in activities centered on how to treat others as we ourselves would want to be treated, a basic teaching in all major world religions. Adults and children come together again for a robust coffee hour with conversation, food, and plenty of energy.

We know prayers are beautifully expressed in actions as well as words and music, which makes our service projects and our social activities an important part of living our spiritual values as best we can.

Explore the website and then come visit. We would love to welcome you any Sunday at 10:00.
