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.

"Blessing of the Animals" - Rev. Bridget Laflin Our animal companions bring joy, comfort, laughter, and occasionally a little chaos into our lives. Bring your well behaved, leashed or contained pet, or a photo or memento. We will bless and celebrate the creatures who share our lives and reflect on our place in the larger web of life. October 11 "Journey to Purpose" - Janet Schneider Janet Schneider first traveled to Guatemala in 2011. That trip inspired her current work with the indigenous Maya people. Come hear her story. October 18 "We Need Each Other" - Rev. Bridget Laflin Our culture celebrates independence, but none of us makes it through this life alone. This Sunday, we’ll explore interdependence, disability, care, and what changes when we stop thinking of needing one another as a weakness and begin recognizing it as part of being human.
