Upholding What Matters
First Parish is entirely self-supporting and nearly 70% of that support is contributions from our members.
In a time of widening inequality, climate crisis, inhumane immigration policies, and social upheaval, our congregation remains a place of courage, care, and moral imagination. We are also in a time of transition in our congregation, we are searching for a new settled lead minister to begin in the summer of 2027. So this is a time for us to name, claim, and support what makes First Parish, First Parish.
With your pledge, we can:
- Create worship and spiritual practice that nourish resilience and hope
- Offer care, connection, and mutual support across life’s changes
- Engage faithfully in movements for justice, equity, and liberation
- Welcome people of all ages who seek a spiritual home grounded in love and accountability
Your pledge is not a fee or an obligation; it is an expression of values, an act of solidarity, and a way of saying this community, and its values, matter to me.

For the past 300 years, First Parish has demonstrated commitment, strength and resilience. 2025 will be no different. Our strong bonds and deep values will guide us through uncertainty.
First Parish is self funding: Your pledges account for over two thirds of the budget

that we need to pay our staff and all the bills,

which translates to all that makes us thrive.
