First Unitarian Church has been an active and influential congregation in downtown Portland since its founding in 1866. We are a member congregation of the Unitarian Universalist Association. Our theological roots go deep, tracing back to the early Christian era, though today for inspiration, we draw upon wisdom shared by many major world religions. As a free religion, our spiritual sources are many, including poetry and prose, from contemporary thinkers.

Join us Sundays for worship at 10 a.m. in our Sanctuary located at SW 12th and Main. The summer schedule of one service remains in effect from now through Sept. 5.

The Seven Principles

We affirm and promote:

• The inherent worth and dignity of every person;
• Justice, equity and compassion in human relations;
• Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations;
• A free and responsible search for truth and meaning;
• The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large;
• The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all;
• Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.
