The Sanctuary

You are always welcome at First Unitarian Church of Hamilton. We embrace many beliefs, welcome all genders and sexual orientations, and offer increasing accessibility to people of all abilities. 

As you explore our website and learn of our location, feel free to contact us with your questions.  We look forward to meeting you and helping you find what you need.

Sunday morning service is one moment in the week when we gather together as a Beloved Community. It is often a transformative moment, reminding us of our connections to each other and to all of life.

With faith, hope, and love

Joining in Sunday Services

In-person Participation

Our Services are weekly reflections that weave thoughts and experiences together with music and beauty, poetry and words that comfort and challenge. We gather together to nurture each other, serve the community and to be inspired as we go back out into the world. We seek to deepen our spiritual understanding, to strengthen our community relationships, and to explore our values. Our services start at 10:30 am and you are encouraged to arrive early

We are committed to maintaining a safe, and healthy environment for everyone who comes to our worship services. If you are not feeling well, please stay home. We continue to provide access to Sunday worship for those who are unable or unwilling to participate in person via Zoom and Vimeo.  See details below.

Regular Service Elements

Although Unitarian worship services tend to be less liturgical and ritual-based than those in many traditional churches, our services do contain a number of common elements which move the gathered community through an hour-long experience of centering, reflecting and returning.
