Brief Overview

First Parish Unitarian Universalist Church of Scituate is over 375 years old. First Parish is a meetinghouse dedicated today, as it has been throughout its long history, to fostering religious freedom of belief though worship, study, service and community.

Members of the parish, by discussion and vote at the regular annual meeting and special meetings when needed, set policy, approve budgets, decide by vote upon the need to call a minister, and elect the parish committee which, in close cooperation with the staff, handles the ongoing functions needed to maintain operations. There are also four officers of the church.
