In the greater community, members of First Unitarian are engaged in a variety of social justice work that focuses on improving the quality of life for those who are marginalized because of some inherent aspect of who they are. Our congregation has a history of working on social justice issues and we continue to raise our voices against issues of injustice today.
Through our Faith in Action program, we annually select two local organizations to support financial & volunteer opportunities. We are also involved in a number of Social Justice initiatives. If you share our passion for social justice, join us!
