First Parish is a seeking church, a transforming church, and a welcoming church. We are a community of action, working together to build a more just and loving world. We are a community of care, showing up for one another and the wider community in good and difficult times.
In this community, we welcome all of who you are—your gifts and struggles, your commitments and questions, as well as the many identities you hold. We embrace a wide variety of religious beliefs and celebrate the uniqueness of each person’s search for truth and meaning. Your presence expands and enlivens our community.
It is my great joy to serve First Parish in shared leadership with a wonderful staff and devoted lay leaders. We hope you will find in this community a place of growth and connection, of deep inquiry and shared values.
If you have questions about the congregation, about Unitarian Universalism, or about how to begin finding your place in our community, please reach out! Send an email to lsmith@uuwayland.org to schedule a time to meet. I look forward to hearing from you.
Rev. Lauren Smith
