The First Congregational Parish in Kingston is a dynamic group of human beings of all ages who have come together to share our individual spiritual journeys toward wholeness and greater understanding, to deal with the mysteries of our common existence, and to make a positive difference in the world, for ourselves and our families, for our community in Southeastern Massachusetts, and in the interdependent web of all beings.

Throughout our existence, and as an article of our faith, Unitarians and Universalists have evolved through a democratic process to become a non-creedal, inclusive progressive religious community of world-wide scope and consciousness.

We are intentionally welcoming of all ethnicities and identities, and individuals and families of all descriptions, adults, youth, and children, who seek to promote health and wholeness in themselves and the world.

As with most American religious traditions, much of our attention and energy is focused on shared worship.  In keeping with our non-creedal identity, there is no “test of faith” in the words and rituals we share, and the varied forms of liturgy reflect that.   Instrumental music, inclusive congregational hymns, and popular songs serve to set an emotional tone for quiet moments of reflection and meditation.  Inspirational words and readings from many traditions are complemented by a brief topical and timely message from our chosen Minister or occasional guest clergy or lay speakers.
