Dear Friend,

Welcome to our website, and to our spiritual community as well.  The First Universalist Church of Westfield Center has a long and varied history.  Our beautiful building has been consistently used for worship since 1848. Although we are a small congregation, we are indeed a congregation with a large and giving spirit.  Our outreach touches many people; some of whom attend our church while many do not.

We are a congregation which welcomes and values all people, regardless of their age, their religious background, their ability, and their sexual orientation.  We value each person and desire to help one another along the spiritual path of life.  We encourage folks to think for themselves and to ask questions, and while many of us would call ourselves liberal Christians, many other spiritual paths are valued and encouraged. 

We honor others' rights and you will not be labeled as a sinner by our faith.  We acknowledge the difficulty of living rightly each day of our lives.  We endeavor to learn from the religions of the world, from science and nature, from poetry, from music and from each other.  We seek the sacred in all scripture. 

Love is the doctrine of this church, the quest of truth is its sacrament, and service is its prayer.  During the past year some of our worship highlights have included, Holy Communion honoring Jesus, Advent and Christmas celebrations, Easter, flower communion, poetry Sunday, music Sunday, vocational Sundays, with many instances of leadership coming from church members themselves. 

If you are seeking a friendly, loving place to explore your own spiritual path, please join us on any given Sunday at 10: 15 a.m.  If you desire to talk to me about your spiritual journey or have other questions, please do not hesitate to contact me by e mail, UURevRick@AOL.com or by phone , 330 492-6044.
