We Welcome All to First Unitarian Church!
We are a caring Unitarian Universalist community in the centrally located Avondale neighborhood of Cincinnati. We meet in a warm and graceful building, built circa 1889, for worship services that nourish spiritual growth and learning throughout life. A self-governed congregation, we are an active force for personal and societal growth through a variety of activities that serve our members and our community.
Established in 1830, we have been an important part of the history of Cincinnati ever since. We strive to carry on the tradition of First Unitarian members throughout the years who have championed individual and civil rights, led educational and civic reform, and worked to promote justice in daily affairs. We seek to be Radically Inclusive, and are constantly looking for ways to extend our welcome to all people.

Upcoming Sermons:April 12
"The Kingdom of Heaven Is at Hand!"--Dr. Alexander Riegel Just as the term “repent” has been grossly misunderstood, so, too, has the concept of “the kingdom of heaven.” And, just as a proper understanding of the term “repent” casts Christianity in a whole new light, so, too, does a proper understanding of the concept of “the kingdom of heaven.” [This is Part 2 of a 3 part series.] April 19 "Living Faithfully in an Authoritarian Age"--Rev. Dr. Patrick Nugent Dr. Nugent will speak on what it means to be People of Faith in these uncertain times. April 26 "As It Is in Heaven"--Dr. Alexander Riegel Following his sermons, "Repent!" and "The Kingdom of Heaven Is at Hand!", in this sermon Dr. Riegel will quickly summarize the previous two sermons in this series, then pose and answer the question, "Okay, the kingdom of heaven. So what?" You will likely be very surprised to learn just how UU the kingdom of heaven is! May 3 Spring Music Sunday--Jera Cox, Director of Music, and First U Singers and Ringers Featuring songs about peace, this performance will lift you up and give you much-needed hope for peace.
