a bit about us

At First Parish, faith comes neither pre-digested nor neatly packaged.

We are an inquisitive community, exploring our faith in God, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit.

We are deeply committed to doing good work in this world: social justice, normalizing mental health, and cultivating true connection in our digital world.

Everyone is welcome - no matter your background or beliefs.

First Parish is an open & affirming congregation.

We are a part of the Maine Conference of the United Church of Christ and the national United Church of Christ.
