First Unitarian Congregational Society of Brooklyn

We are an embracing and diverse spiritual community who nurture, strengthen, and challenge one another to grow and to have a positive impact on our community and our world.

We are a welcoming congregation, celebrating the lives of all people and their ways of expressing love to each other, and we have a dedicated focus on promoting social justice and equality through our words and actions. As a congregation, we covenant to affirm and promote the following seven principles:

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

The First Unitarian Congregational Society in Brooklyn has been meeting regularly in Brooklyn Heights, NY since 1833 and worshipping in our historic neo-gothic sanctuary since 1844.

We are a member of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA), which has a liberal spiritual philosophy which keeps an open mind to the religious questions people have struggled with in all times and places.
